Prisma client did not initialize yet

by

The error message “Prisma client did not initialize yet” indicates that the Prisma client has not been properly initialized or connected to the database before it is being used in the code.

To fix this issue, make sure you have properly initialized the Prisma client before using it. The initialization typically involves creating an instance of the Prisma client with the correct connection details in your code.

Here’s an example of how you can initialize the Prisma client:


      const { PrismaClient } = require('@prisma/client');
      const prisma = new PrismaClient();

In this example, we import the PrismaClient from the ‘@prisma/client’ package and create a new instance of the Prisma client. This will establish the connection to the database.

Once the client is initialized, you can use it to query the database. Here’s an example of how you can use the Prisma client to retrieve data from a ‘users’ table:


      async function getUsers() {
        try {
          const users = await prisma.user.findMany();
          console.log(users);
        } catch (error) {
          console.error('Error retrieving users:', error);
        } finally {
          await prisma.$disconnect();
        }
      }
      getUsers();

In this example, we define an async function called ‘getUsers’ that uses the Prisma client to retrieve all users from the ‘users’ table. We log the users to the console or handle any potential errors. Finally, we disconnect the Prisma client to free up resources after the query is executed.

Overall, ensure that you properly initialize and connect the Prisma client to the database before using it in your code, and make sure to also disconnect the client when you’re done with the queries to clean up resources.
