LazyPrisma

A Terminal UI tool for managing Prisma migrations and the database, designed for developers who prefer the command line.

Note on Appearance: The screenshot above features the Dracula Dark theme and JetBrains Mono Nerd Font. We highly recommend using a Nerd Font for the best visual experience, as future updates will introduce more icons and symbols.

Features

• Visualise Migrations: View Local, Pending, and DB-Only migrations in a clean, organised TUI.
• Safe Workflow: Built-in validations for checksum mismatches and empty migrations to prevent database inconsistencies.
• Prisma Studio Integration: Toggle Prisma Studio directly from the app (S key) with automatic process management (no more zombie processes).
• Migration Management: Create (d), Deploy (D), and Resolve (s) migrations effortlessly.
• Quick Actions: Delete pending migrations (Del/Backspace) and copy migration details to the clipboard (c).

Installation

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew tap DokaDev/lazyprisma
brew install lazyprisma

Manual Installation

Download the latest binary from Releases.

Prerequisites

LazyPrisma requires the Prisma CLI to be installed in your project:

npm install -D prisma

Note: LazyPrisma uses npx prisma to execute commands. Ensure npx is available in your shell path. It supports both the classic schema.prisma and the new Prisma v7+ prisma.config.ts.

Usage

Navigate to your project directory and launch the application:

cd your-prisma-project
lazyprisma

Check the version:

lazyprisma --version

Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigation

• ← / →: Switch between panels (Workspace, Migrations, Details, Output).
• ↑ / ↓: Scroll list or text content.
• Tab / Shift+Tab: Switch tabs within a panel (e.g., Local / Pending / DB-Only).

Core Actions

• r: Refresh all panels and migration status.
• d: Migrate Dev – Create a new migration (Schema diff-based or empty Manual migration).
• D: Migrate Deploy – Apply pending migrations to the database.
• g: Generate – Run prisma generate to update the client.
• s: Resolve – Fix failed migrations (mark as applied or rolled back).
• S: Studio – Toggle the Prisma Studio server (opens in your default browser).

Utilities

• c: Copy – Copy the selected migration's name, path, or checksum to the clipboard.

Roadmap

• Automatic down.sql Generation: Initially planned for v0.2.x, but postponed due to technical constraints. We aim to implement this feature in a future sprint, alongside establishing a robust lazytui framework and refactoring the codebase.
