Prerequisites

In order to successfully complete the tasks in the workshop, you should have:

• Node.js installed on your machine.
• A GitHub account.
• Docker installed on your machine or a hosted MongoDB instance (e.g. on Atlas)
• A code editor installed (preferably VS Code).
• A basic understanding of schemaless database concepts.

What you'll do

In this workshop, you’ll dive into a full-stack application that is half-built. The entire application is visually complete and functional, however it is using all static data. Your job will be to hook the site up to a MongoDB database and replace all of the static data with live data from that database.

You'll start by setting up Prisma with a MongoDB database, modeling out some of your required data, and learning about how a “schema” fits into the world of schemaless databases (lesson 1).

Then, you'll use Prisma Client to build all of the queries relating to a user’s data. You will write some simple queries, some more complex ones, and take a look at how to handle embedded documents (lesson 2).
