Quick Start

1. Install

Requirements

Component	Minimum
Node.js	18.x
Prisma	6.12.0
Zod	4.0.5
TypeScript (recommended)	5.2+

npm

npm install prisma-zod-generator zod @prisma/client

yarn

yarn add prisma-zod-generator zod @prisma/client

pnpm

pnpm add prisma-zod-generator zod @prisma/client

2. Add generator to schema.prisma

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client"
}

generator zod {
  provider = "prisma-zod-generator"
  // optional output = "./prisma/generated" (JSON config can supply if omitted)
}

3. (Optional) Create prisma/zod-generator.config.json

{
  "mode": "full",
  "pureModels": true,
  "variants": {
    "pure": { "enabled": true },
    "input": { "enabled": true },
    "result": { "enabled": true }
  }
}

4. Generate

npx prisma generate

5. Consume

import { UserSchema, UserInputSchema } from './prisma/generated/schemas';
UserSchema.parse(data);

Directory Layout (multi-file default)

prisma/generated/
  schemas/
    enums/
    objects/
    variants/
    index.ts
  models/

Single-file mode collapses to schemas.ts via config (useMultipleFiles:false).
