@prisma/client 2.0.0-beta.7

on Node.js Yarn

Today, we are issuing the seventh Beta release: 2.0.0-beta.7 (short: beta.7).

New Pagination

Prisma Client's pagination has been simplified a lot!

• Removed first, last, before, after arguments.
• Added cursor and take arguments.
• skip argument unchanged.

The take argument replaces first and last.

Examples

first

prisma.user.findMany({
  first: 10
})

// becomes
prisma.user.findMany({
  take: 10
})

last

prisma.user.findMany({
  last: 10
})

// becomes
prisma.user.findMany({
  take: -10
})

before

prisma.user.findMany({
  before: "someid"
  first: 10
})

// becomes
prisma.user.findMany({
  cursor: "someid"
  take: -10
  skip: 1
})

after

prisma.user.findMany({
  after: "someid"
  first: 10
})

// becomes
prisma.user.findMany({
  cursor: "someid"
  take: 10
  skip: 1
})

The record specified with cursor is now included in the results, making skip: 1 necessary if you want to preserve the previous before / after semantics.

This diagram illustrates how the pagination works:

             skip: 0 or undefined

Auto restart on panic

The Query Engine now automatically restarts with an exponential backoff with jitter, if it exits for some reason, for example in the case of a panic. That helps a lot to make Prisma Client more resilient in production!
#2100

Introspection now recognizes @default(cuid / uuid)

If you introspect a Prisma 1 schema, the introspection now correctly recognizes cuid or uuid usage
#2499

Fixes and improvements

prisma

• Prisma should check for generator binaries in $PATH
• A generator provider should accept arbitrary commands
• generate does not work in folders with spaces
• Restart engine on panic
• Unable to save arrays in a Json type field
• findMany with a select argument errors out with models with self-relations (sometimes)
• [Introspection] Identify Prisma 1 Id defaults
• Prisma Client mixes up DateTimes and IDs when they are selected in queries
• findMany fails to select an enum list & a relation scalar at the same time
• [Prisma Client] Duplicate identifier with models "X" and "XClient"
• Output notice about Prisma1->Prisma2 upgrade documentation and tool
• New raw functions not exported from @prisma/client
• Generated GitHub link too long

prisma-client-js

• Error when passing a null value to a nullable Json field type

vscode

• Message: Request textDocument/definition failed with message: Schema parsing
• Show linter snippet in formatting error
• Using svg breaks markeplace publish
• Not possible to use backslash in string field
• Run CI tests every time a release gets published
• Include CLI version in startup output
• Startup output does not include binary hash any more
• Using autocompletion for @default() puts curcor after ) instead of inside ()
• Ctrl+Space does not suggest current model for self relation
• @unique @unique
• Formatter adds new lines on every format call
• Move out anything unimportant to users from README to CONTRUBUTING.md
• Update README preview image
• Improving README
• vscode plugin formatting bug
• Auto-completion for relation directive shows wrong suggestions
• Format incorrectly deletes invalid lines
• Format deletes new lines in invalid block and removes any whitespaces in the beginning
• Format moves lines on every format call in an invalid schema

prisma-engines

• Implement simplified pagination
