prismadocify is a command-line tool that generates markdown documentation for Prisma schemas. It reads your Prisma schema file, parses the models and enums, and outputs a markdown file documenting the schema.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (>= 16.x)
• Yarn or npm

Install via npm

npm install prismadocify

Install via Yarn

yarn add prismadocify

Usage

After installing prismadocify, you can use it from the command line to generate documentation for your Prisma schema.

Command

prismadocify

By default, prismadocify looks for the Prisma schema file at ./prisma/schema.prisma and generates the documentation in ./prisma-docs.md.

Example

1. Make sure your Prisma schema file is located at ./prisma/schema.prisma.

2. Run the prismadocify command:

   prismadocify

3. Check the generated prisma-docs.md file in the root directory of your project.

Example

1. Make sure your Prisma schema file is located at ./prisma/schema.prisma.

2. Run the prismadocify command:

   prismadocify

3. Check the generated prisma-docs.md file in the root directory of your project.

Example

Here is an example of a simple Prisma schema and the generated documentation:

Prisma Schema (schema.prisma)

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

model User {
  id         String   @id @default(uuid())
  email      String   @unique
  name       String?
  role       UserRole @default(USER)
  createdAt  DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt  DateTime @updatedAt

  @@map("users")
}

enum UserRole {
  ADMIN
  USER
}

Generated Markdown Documentation (prisma-docs.md)
