Prisma Config

Prisma v7 introduces prisma.config.ts as the central configuration file for the Prisma CLI.

Location

Place prisma.config.ts at your project root (next to package.json).

Full Example

Copy & paste — that's it
import 'dotenv/config'
import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'

export default defineConfig({
 // Schema location
 schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
 
 // Migration configuration
 migrations: {
 path: 'prisma/migrations',
 seed: 'tsx prisma/seed.ts',
 },
 
 // Database connection
 datasource: {
 url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
 directUrl: env('DIRECT_DATABASE_URL'),
 shadowDatabaseUrl: env('SHADOW_DATABASE_URL'),
 },
})

Environment Variables

The env() helper

Use env() to reference environment variables:

Copy & paste — that's it
import { env } from 'prisma/config'

datasource: {
 url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
}

This provides type safety but does NOT load .env files automatically.

Loading .env files

Install and import dotenv:

Copy & paste — that's it
npm install dotenv
Copy & paste — that's it
import 'dotenv/config' // Must be first import
import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'

Migrating from v6

Before (v6) - schema.prisma

Copy & paste — that's it
datasource db {
 provider = "postgresql"
 url = env("DATABASE_URL")
 directUrl = env("DIRECT_URL")
}

After (v7) - prisma.config.ts

Copy & paste — that's it
import 'dotenv/config'
import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'

export default defineConfig({
 schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
 datasource: {
 url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
 directUrl: env('DIRECT_URL'),
 },
})

And update schema.prisma:

Copy & paste — that's it
datasource db {
 provider = "postgresql"
 // URLs now in prisma.config.ts
}

Custom Config Path

Use --config flag with CLI commands:

Copy & paste — that's it
prisma migrate dev --config ./config/prisma.config.ts
