A tutorial on connecting GraphQL Nexus (a code-first, type-safe schema construction library) to a database using the Prisma client and the nexus-prisma plugin. Covers the full workflow: setting up a Prisma project with TypeScript, defining data models, generating a Prisma client, exposing auto-generated CRUD operations via nexus-prisma, and customizing the API by hiding fields, adding computed fields, and writing custom mutations. Note: this content is outdated and relates to the deprecated Prisma 1.
