Client

In order to make any Prisma Client Python queries you need to create and connect to a Client instance, for example:

from prisma import Client

client = Client()
await client.connect()
await client.user.create(
    data={
        'name': 'Robert',
    },
)

You can also query directly from model classes, see Model Actions for more information.

from prisma.models import User

user = await User.prisma().create(
    data={
        'name': 'Robert',
    },
)

Datasource Overriding

It is possible to override the default URL used to connect to the database:

client = Client(
    datasource={
        'url': 'file:./tmp.db',
    },
)

Context Manager

To make running small scripts as easy as possible, Prisma Client Python supports connecting and disconnecting from the database using a context manager.

For example:

from prisma import Client

async with Client() as client:
    await client.user.create(
        data={
            'name': 'Robert',
        },
    )

Which is functionally equivalent to:

from prisma import Client

client = Client()

try:
    await client.connect()
    await client.user.create(
        data={
            'name': 'Robert',
        },
    )
finally:
    if client.is_connected():
        await client.disconnect()
