# Prisma Client API Reference

Complete API reference for Prisma Client. This skill provides guidance on model queries, filtering, relations, and client methods for current Prisma projects.

## When to Apply

Reference this skill when:
- Writing database queries with Prisma Client
- Performing CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete)
- Filtering and sorting data
- Working with relations
- Using transactions
- Configuring client options

## Rule Categories by Priority

| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|----------|----------|--------|--------|
| 1 | Client Construction | HIGH | `constructor` |
| 2 | Model Queries | CRITICAL | `model-queries` |
| 3 | Query Shape | HIGH | `query-options` |
| 4 | Filtering | HIGH | `filters` |
| 5 | Relations | HIGH | `relations` |
| 6 | Transactions | CRITICAL | `transactions` |
| 7 | Raw SQL | CRITICAL | `raw-queries` |
| 8 | Client Methods | MEDIUM | `client-methods` |

## Quick Reference

- `constructor` - `PrismaClient` setup, adapter wiring, logging, and SQL commenter plugins
- `model-queries` - CRUD operations and bulk operations
- `query-options` - `select`, `include`, `omit`, sort, pagination
- `filters` - scalar and logical filter operators
- `relations` - relation reads and nested writes
- `transactions` - array and interactive transaction patterns
- `raw-queries` - `$queryRaw` and `$executeRaw` safety
- `client-methods` - lifecycle methods, extensions, and `satisfies` patterns for `prisma-client`

## Client Instantiation

```typescript
import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'

const adapter = new PrismaPg({
  connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL
})

const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
```

## Model Query Methods

| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `findUnique()` | Find one record by unique field |
| `findUniqueOrThrow()` | Find one or throw error |
| `findFirst()` | Find first matching record |
| `findFirstOrThrow()` | Find first or throw error |
| `findMany()` | Find multiple records |
| `create()` | Create a new record |
| `createMany()` | Create multiple records |
| `createManyAndReturn()` | Create multiple and return them |
| `update()` | Update one record |
| `updateMany()` | Update multiple records |
| `updateManyAndReturn()` | Update multiple and return them |
| `upsert()` | Update or create record |
| `delete()` | Delete one record |
| `deleteMany()` | Delete multiple records |
| `count()` | Count matching records |
| `aggregate()` | Aggregate values (sum, avg, etc.) |
| `groupBy()` | Group and aggregate |

## Query Options

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `where` | Filter conditions |
| `select` | Fields to include |
| `include` | Relations to load |
| `omit` | Fields to exclude |
| `orderBy` | Sort order |
| `take` | Limit results |
| `skip` | Skip results (pagination) |
| `cursor` | Cursor-based pagination |
| `distinct` | Unique values only |

## Client Methods

| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `$connect()` | Explicitly connect to database |
| `$disconnect()` | Disconnect from database |
| `$transaction()` | Execute transaction |
| `$queryRaw()` | Execute raw SQL query |
| `$executeRaw()` | Execute raw SQL command |
| `$on()` | Subscribe to events |
| `$extends()` | Add extensions |

## Quick Examples

### Find records

```typescript
// Find by unique field
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { email: 'alice@prisma.io' }
})

// Find with filter
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
  where: { role: 'ADMIN' },
  orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' },
  take: 10
})
```

### Create records

```typescript
const user = await prisma.user.create({
  data: {
    email: 'alice@prisma.io',
    name: 'Alice',
    posts: {
      create: { title: 'Hello World' }
    }
  },
  include: { posts: true }
})
```

### Update records

```typescript
const user = await prisma.user.update({
  where: { id: 1 },
  data: { name: 'Alice Smith' }
})
```

### Delete records

```typescript
await prisma.user.delete({
  where: { id: 1 }
})
```

### Transactions

```typescript
const [user, post] = await prisma.$transaction([
  prisma.user.create({ data: { email: 'alice@prisma.io' } }),
  prisma.post.create({ data: { title: 'Hello', authorId: 1 } })
])
```
