create-prisma-php-app

library4.4.10jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool and library that bridges PHP with Prisma ORM, enabling PHP developers to use Prisma's schema-based database modeling and client generation. Current stable version 4.4.10, actively maintained (weekly updates). Key differentiators: generates PHP client classes from Prisma schema, supports multiple databases, and provides a familiar Laravel-style query builder. Requires Node.js for Prisma CLI and PHP 8.0+.
