Generation Modes

Mode	Models default	Variants default	Operations	Notes
full	all enabled	all enabled	all Prisma ops	Richest output
minimal	disabled unless explicitly configured	input & pure enabled (result often off)	Restricted core CRUD + find	Prunes complex nested inputs, disables select/include
custom	all enabled unless disabled	respect variants.*.enabled	all unless filtered	Explicit control

Minimal mode specifics:

• Forces select/include disabled even if flags set.
• Applies MINIMAL_OPERATIONS (or minimalOperations override) for unspecified models.
• Skips many heavy nested input object schemas (allow-list basics).

Emission Heuristics

Condition	Effect
pureModels=true AND all variants.*.enabled=false AND mode=custom	Pure-models-only (emit only pure model schemas)
pureModels=true AND only variants.pure.enabled=true	Pure-variant-only (skip CRUD/input/result schemas)
emit.results=false	Internally sets variants.result.enabled=false before generation
useMultipleFiles=false	Single-file bundle; directory cleanup after flush
mode=minimal	Suppresses select/include + prunes deep input objects

Explicit emit.* booleans, when provided, override heuristics for that category (except minimal’s enforced suppressions).
