How to Enhance Prisma Queries with Filtering, Sorting, and Pagination

#prisma #typescript #node #npm

📌 Introduction

Prisma is one of the best ORMs for Node.js and TypeScript. But when building APIs, we often need to:
✅ Filter records dynamically
✅ Sort results based on query parameters
✅ Implement pagination for large datasets
✅ Select only specific fields

While Prisma provides built-in features, implementing these manually can become repetitive. That’s why I created Prisma Query Enhancer—a simple package to handle this efficiently.

🚀 What is Prisma Query Enhancer?
Prisma Query Enhancer is an NPM package that makes Prisma queries cleaner and more reusable.

🔧 Installation

sh npm install prisma-query-enhancer

🛠️ How to Use It

Let's say we need to fetch users with filtering, sorting, pagination, and selected fields. Here’s how Prisma Query Enhancer simplifies it:

ts

import PrismaQueryEnhancer from 'prisma-query-enhancer';

const query = new PrismaQueryEnhancer(prisma.user, req.query)
  .filter()
  .sort()
  .limitFields()
  .paginate()
  .execute();

const users = await query;

🔥 No more boilerplate!
