I'm not a big fan of CRUD libraries. They hide logic. Code generation is a handy alternative for instantly changing CRUD APIs.

1/ Migrations and database access with Prisma

Prisma generates:

• migrations files

• a typesafe client SDK to access the database

Why I don't suggest an alternative is because of its integration with Zod:

2/ Validation with Zod plugins

Zod plugins do the boring stuff:

• zod-prisma => Prisma types to Zod validation

• nestjs-graphql-zod => Zod validation to GraphQL validation

• prisma-trpc-generator => Prisma to tRPC endpoints with Zod

Then focus on features.

TL;DR:

Generate:

1/ Migrations and database access with Prisma

2/ Validation with Zod plugins

With that, a few minutes is enough to make many CRUD changes.
