rollup-plugin-prisma-generate

1.0.0 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no javascript

A Rollup plugin that automatically generates the Prisma client (`@prisma/client`) during the bundle step. Current stable version is 1.0.0. It is a lightweight wrapper around `prisma generate`, intended for use in Rollup builds. Differentiators include automatic schema detection, promise-based generation before build, and TypeScript support. It has peer dependencies on Rollup 2 or 3 and `picocolors`. Designed for projects using Prisma ORM with Rollup.
