prisma.yml could not be found

Question

I am trying to generate schema for my prisma data model while at the same time using secrets to restrict prisma access. After running prisma delete and prisma deploy, I run the command graphql get-schema -p prisma and get the following error message:

✖ prisma/prisma.yml could not be found.

Is there something wrong I am doing in my .graphqlconfig or how I am listing my prisma.yml? Thanks.

.graphqlconfig:

{
  "projects": {
    "prisma": {
      "schemaPath": "generated/prisma.graphql",
      "extensions": {
        "prisma": "prisma/prisma.yml",
        "endpoints": {
          "default": "http://localhost:4466"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

prisma/prisma.yml:

endpoint: http://localhost:4466
datamodel: datamodel.prisma
secret: 'secretFoo'

index.js:

import http from 'http';
import express from 'express';
import { ApolloServer } from 'apollo-server-express';
import resolvers from './resolvers';
import schema from './generated/prisma.graphql';
import { Prisma } from 'prisma-binding';

const prisma = new Prisma({
  endpoint: 'http://localhost:4466',
  secret: 'secretFoo',
  typeDefs: 'server/generated/prisma.graphql',
});

const server = new ApolloServer({
  context: {
    prisma,
  },
  resolvers,
  typeDefs: schema,
});

const app = express();
server.applyMiddleware({ app });

const PORT = 5000;

const httpServer = http.createServer(app);
server.installSubscriptionHandlers(httpServer);

httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server ready at http://localhost:${PORT}${server.graphqlPath}`);
  console.log(`Subscriptions ready at ws://localhost:${PORT}${server.subscriptionsPath}`);
});

if (module.hot) {
  module.hot.accept();
  module.hot.dispose(() => server.stop());
}

I ended up using `env-cmd` in my package.json commands and it solved this issue as well, in case any future person runs into this issue. — Jimmy, Dec 31 '19 at 20:03

You can generate a schema directly from your prisma.yml file, by adding the following to the file:

generate:
  - generator: graphql-schema
    output: ./generated/prisma.graphql

Then you can refer your .graphqlconfig to the generated file:

projects:
  prisma:
    schemaPath: generated/prisma.graphql
    extensions:
      endpoints:
        dev: http://localhost:4466

You would generally restrict access to the management functionality of your endpoint through the Prisma docker-compose file (managementApiSecret in PRISMA_CONFIG). Then when you run commands like prisma deploy you would need to pass the appropriate environment variables through either the --env-file flag, or by having a dotenv file in the root of your application's directory (you also need the dotenv package installed in package.json.

Another way to secure your endpoint is to disable the GraphQL Playground altogether. I believe Apollo Server does this automatically when NODE_ENV is set to production, although you can do it explicitly with:

const server = new ApolloServer({
  context: {
    prisma,
  },
  resolvers,
  typeDefs: schema,
  playground: false, // <- Here
});

I'm sorry, I don't think this directly answered your question, but it may assist either way.
