# About The Project
Automatically generate a JSON file that can be run as a server from your [Prisma](https://github.com/prisma/prisma) Schema. Updates every time `npx prisma generate` runs.
# Supported Prisma Versions

### Prisma 2/3
- 0.1.2 and lower
# Installation
Using npm:
```bash
npm install prisma-json-server-generator
```
Using yarn:
```bash
yarn add prisma-json-server-generator
```
# Usage
1- Star this repo 😉
2- Add the generator to your Prisma schema
```prisma
generator json_server {
provider = "prisma-json-server-generator"
outputFileName = "db.json"
}
```
3- Install `json-server`
```bash
npm install -g json-server
```
4- Run `npx prisma generate` for the following schema.prisma, or your schema
```prisma
model User {
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
email String @unique
name String?
posts Post[]
}
model Post {
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
title String
content String?
published Boolean @default(false)
viewCount Int @default(0)
author User? @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
authorId Int?
}
```
5- Now you're ready to run your JSON server!
```bash
json-server --watch db.json
```

# Additional Options

| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------- |
