🔧 Prisma ORM 6.4.0

Prisma ORM 6.4.0 has been released and has some great new features:

new `prisma.config.ts` file

With Prisma ORM 6.4.0, we’re introducing a new configuration file for Prisma ORM in Early Access.

If you’d like to give it a try, just create a prisma.config.ts file like this one:

import path from 'node:path'

export default {
  earlyAccess: true, // required while in Early Access

  schema: {
    kind: 'single', // use 'multi' if you're using the `prismaSchemaFolder` preview feature
    filePath: path.join('custom', 'prisma', 'schema.prisma') // key should be 'folderPath' if you're using the `prismaSchemaFolder` preview feature.
  },
}
