• nevr dev - Start the development workflow (generate + push + dev server).

Code Generation

• nevr generate - Generate Prisma schema and client code from your entities.

Database Management

• nevr db:push - Push schema changes to the database (prototyping).
• nevr db:migrate - Create specific migrations (production).
• nevr db:studio - Open Prisma Studio GUI to view/edit data.
• nevr db:reset - Reset the database (drop all data).

Configuration

Most commands look for a nevr.config.ts (or .js, .mjs) file in your project root or src/ folder.

// nevr.config.ts
import { nevr } from "nevr"
import { user } from "./entities/user"
import { prisma } from "nevr/drivers/prisma"

// Export valid configuration
export default nevr({
  entities: [user],
  driver: prisma(db),
})

You can specify a custom config path with -c or --config:

npx nevr generate -c ./config/custom.ts
