How to use NestJS with Prisma

NestJS is a framework designed for building scalable server-side applications using Node.js, and it fully supports TypeScript while incorporating various programming paradigms. This tutorial demonstrates how to utilize NestJS alongside Prisma to construct a REST API, focusing on setting up the project, connecting to a database, and performing CRUD operations. Prisma, a next-generation object-relational mapper (ORM) for Node and TypeScript, simplifies database access and enhances type safety, making it ideal for creating scalable web APIs. The guide covers initial project setup, integrating Prisma with SQLite, defining a database schema, and generating necessary modules and services for handling application logic. By following the tutorial, users learn how to manage data models and relations using Prisma's declarative approach, perform migrations, and test the API endpoints with Postman, ultimately creating a functional REST API with NestJS and Prisma.
