Question about prisma in nuxt

[Charly9978]

Hi,

I have a small question:

Why do you use prisma in the server/api and not directly in a component (with a composable for example)? What is the benefit to use a api?

Thanks for your help

Hi Benjamin,

Prisma can't be used in components because the database connection is only available at the server, so the connection would fail client-side. Instead, Prisma is used server-side, API calls are routed internally on the server (thanks to Nitro) and done via HTTPS from the client.

Cheers!
