runtypes VS typegraphql-prisma

In terms of which runtime checker I should use. The first tutorial I saw suggested 'Zod', doing a bit more searchign yielded other options such as 'runtypes'.

Runtypes would probably be a better example.

this has been solved by several packages, runtypes https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes being my favorite

I personally like https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes because it bundles your Schema Info and the corresponding Typescript types

When I have to deal with data from API calls, I usually use a runtime typing library like Runtypes or Zod to check the responses at the boundary. These libraries can automatically give you TS types (using their static or infer utilities) to use throughout the rest of the project.

Also runtypes and (as mentioned below) zod.

Seconding the recommendation to use a library for this. runtypes and io-ts are two other alternatives.

I wouldn't reinvent the wheel: https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes

What does your library provide that others don't? For example: https://github.com/colinhacks/zodhttps://github.com/hapijs/joihttps://github.com/jquense/yuphttps://github.com/gcanti/io-tshttps://github.com/pelotom/runtypeshttps://github.com/sindresorhus/ow

I like nexus with prisma better. I feel like typegraphql shines the most when using with orms like MikroORM of TypeORM. Though prisma with typegraphql is not a bad idea, there's a cool plugin that can generate crud resolvers.

I think Prisma is not only modern ORM. If we want to build a GraphQL api, it will help us boost our work. We don't have to waste our time to make CRUD operations, we just define Prisma model and it will do it for us: https://github.com/MichalLytek/typegraphql-prisma/blob/main/Readme.md

Prisma works well with TypeGraphQL. In fact, there's a generator that makes it easier to generate TypeGraphQL types and CRUD resolvers from your Prisma 2 schema: https://github.com/MichalLytek/typegraphql-prisma

There are also several tools that allow you generate a GraphQL CRUD API based on Prisma, such as Amplication, KeystoneJS or typegraphql-prisma.
