I was using Prisma in my Next.js app and I was doing it wrong.
I was initializing a new PrismaClient object in every page:
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'
const prisma = new PrismaClient()
After some point, during app usage, I received the error Already 10 Prisma Clients are actively running
and also a Address already in use
.
To fix this, I exported this Prisma initialization to a separate file, lib/prisma.js
:
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'
let prisma
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
prisma = new PrismaClient()
} else {
if (!global.prisma) {
global.prisma = new PrismaClient()
}
prisma = global.prisma
}
export default prisma
The production check is done because in development, npm run dev
clears the Node.js cache at runtime, and this causes a new PrismaClient
initialization each time due to hot reloading, so we’d not solve the problem.
I took this code from https://www.prisma.io/docs/support/help-articles/nextjs-prisma-client-dev-practices
Finally I imported the exported prisma
object in my pages:
import prisma from 'lib/prisma'
