# @prisma/studio-core

`@prisma/studio-core` is the embeddable Prisma Studio package.

It provides the same core experience as Prisma Studio: a visual way to explore schema, browse table data, edit rows, filter/sort/paginate records, inspect relation data, and run SQL queries with an operation log.

This package is published to npm and consumed by Prisma surfaces such as Console and CLI integrations.

## Run Studio Locally

Requirements:

- Node.js `>=22`
- `pnpm` `8`
- `bun`

Install dependencies and start the demo:

```sh
pnpm install
pnpm demo:ppg
```

Then open [http://localhost:4310](http://localhost:4310).

The demo:

- starts Prisma Postgres dev (`ppg-dev`) programmatically via `@prisma/dev`
- uses direct TCP for query execution
- seeds sample relational data on startup
- auto-rebuilds and reloads the UI when source files change

The demo database is intentionally ephemeral: it is pre-seeded when the demo starts and reset when the demo process stops.

## Useful Commands

- `pnpm demo:ppg` - run local Studio demo with seeded Prisma Postgres dev
- `pnpm typecheck` - run TypeScript checks
- `pnpm lint` - run ESLint (`--fix`)
- `pnpm test` - run default vitest suite
- `pnpm test:checkpoint` - run checkpoint tests
- `pnpm test:data` - run data-layer tests
- `pnpm test:ui` - run UI tests
- `pnpm test:e2e` - run e2e tests
- `pnpm build` - build distributable package with `tsup`
- `pnpm check:exports` - validate package export map/types

## Development Workflow

For day-to-day development, use an agent with Playwright available and let the agent run the demo itself.

Recommended flow:

1. Let the agent run `pnpm demo:ppg`.
2. Let the agent inspect terminal logs and browser behavior together.
3. Let the agent verify UI state via Playwright after changes.

Because the demo is pre-seeded and resets between runs, update seed data whenever needed to reproduce richer scenarios.

Seed data lives in `/Users/sorenschmidt/code/studio/demo/ppg-dev/server.ts` (`seedDatabase`).
