r/graphql on Reddit: Graphql and Prisma
July 29, 2021 -

Hi,

I've asked this question on stack overflow but got no answers so maybe i'll have a better chance here.

I'm having a hard time understanding what graphql can achieve on top of prisma besides having a singular endpoint.

I've been hearing that the main selling point of graphql is the fact that you are able to query for the specific fields you want to receive, but can't that also be achieved with prisma using the "select" property?

const users = await user.findMany({
    select: {
             email: true,     
            },
}); 

Thank you for your answers!
