Job Application (Next.js + Prisma)

Overview

This is a Next.js application (using the app/ router) with Prisma for database access.

Tech Stack

• Next.js
• React
• Prisma (prisma/)
• @prisma/client

Prerequisites

• Node.js (LTS recommended)
• A database (PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite/etc.) configured for Prisma

Getting Started

1) Install dependencies

npm install

2) Configure environment variables

Create a .env file in the project root.

At minimum, Prisma needs a database URL:

# Example
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:5432/DB_NAME"

If your database/provider differs, use the corresponding Prisma connection string.

3) Initialize Prisma (generate + migrations)

Generate the Prisma client:

npx prisma generate

If you need to apply migrations:

npx prisma migrate dev

To inspect the database schema locally:

npx prisma studio

4) Run the development server

npm run dev

Open: http://localhost:3000

Scripts

• npm run dev – start Next.js dev server
• npm run build – build for production
• npm run start – run production server
• npm run lint – run ESLint

Project Structure (high level)

• app/ – Next.js app router
• prisma/schema.prisma – Prisma schema
• prisma/migrations/ – migration history
• app/components/ – shared UI components

Notes

• Prisma reads configuration from .env.
• If you change the Prisma schema, re-run npx prisma generate and apply migrations as needed.
