Highlights

Happy New Year from your friends at Prisma! 🎊

In the last 4 weeks, we resolved some bugs on the ORM and made some progress on some exciting features that we’re not yet ready to announce. Stay tuned for the upcoming releases, in which we’ll be announcing new features. 😉

relationJoins improvements: Relation loading strategy per query (Preview)

In version 5.7.0, we released relationJoins into Preview. The relationJoins feature enables support for JOINs for relation queries.

This release adds support for the ability to specify the strategy used to fetch relational data per query when the Preview feature is enabled. This will enable you to choose the most efficient strategy for fetching relation data depending on your use case.

You can now load relation data using either of the following strategies:

• join — uses JOINs to fetch relation data
• query — uses separate queries to fetch relation data

When the relationJoins Preview feature is enabled, by default, the relation fetching strategy used is join. You can override the default behavior by using the relationLoadStrategy query option.

To get started, enable the Preview feature:

// schema.prisma
generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client-js"
  previewFeatures = ["relationJoins"]
}

… and specify the relation loading strategy for your query as follows:

await prisma.user.findMany({
  relationLoadStrategy: 'query',
  include: {
    posts: true,
  },
})

Try it out and share your feedback and create a bug report if you encounter any issues.

Survey: Edge functions support

We’re working on bringing Edge function support to Prisma ORM and we would appreciate your input by submitting a response to our survey. By filling out the survey, you will be considered for our Early Access cohort as soon as we have something for you to try out.
