Object Relational Mappers (ORM) are becoming popular in building modern backend applications as they help maintain a consistent codebase, improve security, and provide ease in working with different databases. Also, TypeScript has almost become a must-use language for building JavaScript applications.

In this course, you’ll start by getting familiar with Node.js and Express. You’ll then go over the main features of TypeScript and its advantages over JavaScript. Next, you’ll learn how to do a Docker setup of PostgreSQL. Moreover, this will be followed by introductions to two of the most popular TypeScript ORMs for Node.js: Prisma and TypeORM. Along the way, you’ll practice your skills by building two projects. In the end, you’ll explore some advanced features of these ORMs.

This course will equip you with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience to work with SQL databases and Node.js using TypeScript ORMs.

Getting Started with TypeScript ORM Libraries for Node.js


# Running a build for Prisma

Running a build is simply building the entire code to a set of executable files. This also includes compiling TypeScript to JavaScript. A common method of running a build is to compile all the TypeScript files to a JavaScript file and designate a single entry point for the app.

First, we’ll need to update the `tsconfig.json` file at the root directory of our Prisma application. We’ll add the `outDir` key, which specifies the path and directory name of the compiled JavaScript code.

An example is shown below on **line 11**:
