How can I use graphql-request with prisma secret (like it work with prisma-binding)?

[adamsultan7]

Hello,

Can you help me to call my Prisma database with graphql-request without have to build an auth system with prisma-binding for that?

I need to call the database securely using prisma secret key but I don't need to build an api on top of Prisma DB to do that

Help please.

Hi @adamsultan7, thanks for your question!

To use graphql-request (or any other GraphQL client) together with Prisma, you need to run prisma token (docs), copy the generated token and use it like the following:

import { GraphQLClient } from 'graphql-request'

const client = new GraphQLClient('my-endpoint', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_GENERATED_TOKEN',
  },
})

const query = `{
  Movie(title: "Inception") {
    releaseDate
    actors {
      name
    }
  }
}`

client.request(query).then(data => console.log(data))

Another question: Have you tried to use the .request() feature of the prisma-binding? (See docs)

Thank you for your answer @schickling , I already did that but the token automatically end and become not valid so I asked this question.

No actually I didn't use .request of prisma-binding, I can't use prisma-binding because I don't have the first mandatory parameter of it (typeDefs) in the frontend code.

Any other solution for this?

Thanks again
