2. Environment Variable

In .env:

Copy & paste — that's it

DATABASE_URL="mongodb+srv://user:[email protected]/mydb?retryWrites=true&w=majority"

Migrations vs Introspection

No Migrations: MongoDB is schema-less. prisma migrate commands do not work.
db push: Use prisma db push to sync indexes and constraints.
db pull: Use prisma db pull to generate schema from existing data (sampling).

MongoDB Setup

⚠️ WARNING: MongoDB is NOT supported in Prisma ORM v7.

Support for MongoDB is planned for a future v7 release. If you need MongoDB, you must use Prisma ORM v6.

Prerequisites

MongoDB 4.2+
Replica Set configured (required for transactions)
Prisma ORM v6.x

1. Schema Configuration (v6)

In prisma/schema.prisma:

Copy & paste — that's it

datasource db {
 provider = "mongodb"
 url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

generator client {
 provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

ID Field Requirement

MongoDB models must have a mapped _id field using @id and @map("_id"), usually of type String with auto() and db.ObjectId.

Copy & paste — that's it

model User {
 id String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
 email String @unique
 name String?
}

Relations

Relations in MongoDB expect IDs to be db.ObjectId type.

Copy & paste — that's it

model Post {
 id String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
 author User @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
 authorId String @db.ObjectId
}
