Generating types

To work with Kysely, you're required to provide a database schema type definition to the Kysely constructor.

In many cases, defining your database schema definitions manually is good enough.

However, when building production applications, its best to stay aligned with the database schema, by automatically generating the database schema type definitions.

There are several ways to do this using 3rd party libraries:

• kysely-codegen - This library generates Kysely database schema type definitions by connecting to and introspecting your database. This library works with all built-in dialects.

• prisma-kysely - This library generates Kysely database schema type definitions from your existing Prisma schemas.
