This example shows how to use TypeORM with Prisma Postgres.

Clone this repository and download this template:

npx try-prisma@latest --template databases/typeorm-prisma-postgres

Then navigate into the project directory and install dependencies:

cd typeorm-prisma-postgres
npm install

Run the following command to create a Prisma Postgres database:

npx create-db@latest

Copy the DATABASE_URL from the output and add it to a .env file:

DATABASE_URL="postgresql://..."

Tip: Claim your database at the provided URL to keep it permanently.

npm run dev

The script will:

• create a user with a post
• query all published posts and include each author
• update one post title

TypeORM is configured with synchronize: true in src/index.ts, so tables are created automatically from the entities when the script runs.
