How can I authenticate using prismaclient?

[yuripramos]

Hi Everyone I've been following this tutorial here: https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/master/typescript/graphql-nextjs to bootstrap things and using the SignupMutation to create some new user.

But the question is how can I authenticate the user using Prisma client?

I've tried this tutorial before but https://www.prisma.io/tutorials/authentication-in-apollo-server-ct21

But this tutorial needs to set up your own database and I don't want to, that's why I've started to use Prisma client, they provide to me one DB inside the file /prisma/dev.db

First time using Prisma and would like some help, thanks, everybody!

Hey @yuripramos 👋🏼,

I suggest you look at the GraphQL example with authentication.

To implement authentication with Prisma, you generally use Prisma to store and get permissions from the database. The actual authentication logic is either handled by you in the request handler, the framework, or a plugin like https://github.com/maticzav/graphql-shield.

Thanks for your fast reply, I've been in rush these days I couldn't reply fast. I'm bootstrapping my project from this repo that you showed to me but when I try to use next in my client they change my module:commonjs to esnext in my tsconfig.ts and my server.ts couldn't work properly because esnext are not understanding dynamic imports.

I got this error:

C:\projects\prisma-examples\typescript\graphql-auth\src\server.ts:1   

import { GraphQLServer } from 'graphql-yoga';                                                                                              

^                                                                                                                                                                         

SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

Any tips? I'm looking for a workaround but without success =(

I've solved this problem creating 2 tsconfig files onetsconfig.tsand tsconfig.server.json and extended from tsconfig.ts and set up module:commonjs inside my server file.
