Learn Nuxt, Prisma and Xstream

(This collection is still WIP)

Databases are essential for any full-stack applications, but working with them is traditionally very difficult. Prisma is here to change that. It's a powerful database toolkit that helps us think in data itself - not SQL, not classes, just the data we care about in our apps.

In this series, we will learn how to leverage the power of Prisma to automatically generate a type-safe, autocomplete-ready, and efficient query builder, all based on a simple and easy-to-read schema. We will integrate all this good stuff into a Next.js project to complete a simple social network app.

In the end, you will be able to understand how Prisma works, and confidently start using Prisma in your own project.

Prisma is an open-source database toolkit. It replaces traditional ORMs and makes database access easy with an auto-generated query builder for TypeScript & Node.js.

Build a full-stack app with Prisma

This collection explores one of the most promising and coolest releases of early 2020 - prisma v2. First part of the prisma infrastructure to exit experimental mode - prisma client is an auto-generated and type-safe query builder for Node.js & TypeScript. We will explore and learn it  in this collection!

Get started with Prisma v2. Prisma Client

This course walks you through the steps of creating a News web app using Vue.js and the Nuxt framework. You will learn how to create dynamic pages for each section of your application and load, store, display, filter, and style the data. Then end result will be a News app with multiple category pages, comments for each section, and user pages.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

In this tutorial we will spin the docker container with official postgres image and access the database with `psql` to set up an easy playground for PostgreSQL relational database.


Run postgres database in docker container

In this lesson you write initial boilerplate for prisma (spoiler: it's not bigger than this summary) with typescript infrastructure.

Create new project with prisma

In this lesson you will learn how to connect your prisma to postgres db to be able to introspect it. We will also go trough the models and touch prisma naming convention.

Connect prisma to PostgreSQL database running in docker container

In this lesson you will learn how to generate type safe orm client with `prisma generate` and do first write operation using it.

Generate type safe client with prisma

In this lesson you will learn how to perform the simplest `findOne` and `findMany` read operations from postgres database using prisma client.

Perform read operations using prisma client

In this lesson you will learn how to perform the  `update`  operations on postgres table entries using prisma client.

Perform update operations using prisma client

In this lesson you will learn how to perform the `delete` operations on postgres database table entries using prisma client.

Perform delete operations with prisma client

In most of cases your database schema won't stay the same for too long - let's learn how to update the prisma client so it has access to all of the additions made to the postgress

Evolving prisma schema

Prisma makes database access easy with an auto-generated and type-safe query builder.

In this lesson, we will learn how to install all the necessary dependencies and set up Prisma for an existing npm project, with an empty PostgreSQL database running in the background. We will create our first Prisma data model in the schema, and use *Prisma Migrate* to map our data model into the database. 

Finally, we'll generate the *Prisma Client* into our `node_modules` directory, so later we can simply import and use the client tailored to our data models as a normal npm package in the project.

At the time of recording this lesson, *Prisma Migrate* is in an experimental state, so the extra flag `--experimental` is needed to perform the `save` and `up` commands.

Install and Set up Prisma for a New Project

In this lesson, we will write a code snippet which creates a new entry in the database. We will import and use the Prisma Client that we previously generated by running the command `npx prisma generate` to perform this query. 

Thanks to type-safety, we can now directly catch mismatched data field types while we are coding, drastically reducing the chance of having bugs in the code.

Tip - When in doubt, you can always use the key combination `ctrl-space` to invoke the autocomplete feature of VS Code. This is also a huge benefit made possible by Prisma's type-safety, and is super handy for exploring the Prisma Client API.

Create an entry in the database with Prisma Client

Apart from creating entries, it's also very intuitive to read, update, or delete data from the database with Prisma Client.

In this lesson, we will explore the [Prisma Client API](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client/crud) for `findMany`, `findOne`, `updateMany`, `deleteMany` and so on.

Notice that since all these methods are tailored to the schema that we defined earlier, VS Code is aware of what is valid and is able to prompt us with helpful autocomplete options, making it much easier to explore the Prisma Client API.

Perform basic database queries (CRUD) with Prisma Client

In this lesson, we will learn how to model data relationships with Prisma Schema. 

We will be using a social network as our example, create data models such as users, posts, likes, comments, and model the relations between them. After this lesson, you should be able to model common relations like *one-to-one* (1:1), *one-to-many* (1:n), *many-to-many* (n:m) with Prisma.

At the time of recording this lesson, *Prisma Migrate* is in an experimental state, so the extra flag `--experimental` is needed to perform the `save` and `up` commands.


Work with Models and Relations with Prisma Schema

In this video you'll learn how to deploy a static Nuxt site to AWS's global edge CDN in less than two minutes. We'll start from scratch, creating a new Nuxt site using npx and walk through the build configuration to set up the deployment target for Jamstack / static site hosting. From there, we'll initialize a new Amplify project using the Amplify CLI and walk through the settings to configure the proper build command for Amplify hosting. Finally, we'll deploy and view the live site. Once we're finished, we'll delete the project and the hosting service.

Deploying a Nuxt Site to AWS with the Amplify CLI

In this video you'll learn how to use Amplify hosting to deploy a Nuxt site from a Git repository. We'll begin by walking through the steps of creating the deployment and configuring the correct build settings to enable a static build. Once the site is deployed, we'll view the live site hosted on AWS.

Before each page loads, Nuxt supports pre-fetching data to render what you need on the server. This lesson walks you through using Nuxt's `fetch` to load data then save it in the Vuex store.

Load Data from APIs with Nuxt and Vuex

The Vue-CLI helps you to quickly and easily setup new Vue projects. Nuxt.js is a library that helps you build server-rendered Vue.js applications. This lesson shows you how to use the nuxt/starter template with the Vue-CLI to quickly start a new project.

Setup a "Hello World" Server-Rendered Vue.js Application with the Vue-CLI and Nuxt

Most applications require state to be shared across the application. In the case of Nuxt, you'll share state across pages. Nuxt integrates easily with Vuex by simply adding JavaScript files in the `store` directory. This lesson walks you through setting up a basic store and using it in your template

Manage Vue.js State with Vuex and Nuxt

You commit changes to state in Vuex using defined `mutations`. You can easily access these state mutations in your template using `mapMutations`. This lesson shows you have to wire together your Vue.js template with your Vuex store using mutations and mapMutations.
