Generates markdown documentation with Mermaid ERD diagrams and descriptions from Prisma schemas.
Prisma Markdown is a Prisma generator that automatically creates markdown documentation from Prisma schema files. It generates Mermaid ERD diagrams and converts schema comments into readable descriptions, helping teams visualize and document their database structure.
Developers and teams using Prisma ORM who need to generate and maintain up-to-date database documentation from their schema files.
It integrates directly into the Prisma workflow, requires minimal configuration, and offers fine-grained control over documentation output through comment tags, making it a seamless addition to existing projects.

Generates Mermaid ERD diagrams directly from Prisma schema, eliminating manual diagram creation and ensuring visual accuracy, as highlighted in the README's example output.
Converts triple-slash (///) comments into markdown descriptions, keeping documentation inline with code and reducing duplication, demonstrated in the schema examples.
Uses @namespace tags to paginate and separate large schemas into manageable sections, addressing complexity for hundreds of models, as recommended in the README.
Provides tags like @erd, @describe, and @hidden to selectively display models in diagrams or content, offering customization without altering the schema structure.
Only functions within Prisma ORM projects, making it unusable for teams with diverse database tools or migrations outside the Prisma ecosystem.
Generates static markdown files without built-in automation for live updates or integrations, requiring additional scripting for CI/CD or dynamic documentation needs.
Relies on Mermaid syntax for ERDs, which may lack advanced styling options compared to dedicated diagramming tools, as noted in the README's reliance on default Mermaid rendering.
