Create and Utilize a User Model with Prisma in Remix

In lesson 08, Deploy a Remix Application, we said that the app was MVP status. This isn’t quite true for many applications. You will inevitably need users on your site to make it useful for your customers (or even for yourself).

To get started adding users, you will update Prisma with a user model and associate it to Posts. From there you’ll update your posts to display user information. You’ll see how to migrate a Prisma schema in PlanetScale as you deploy these changes.

One nice tid bit you will pick up along the way is a TypeScript 4.5 feature, Awaited. Awaited will unwrap a promise type for you so that you don’t have to do it yourself which is a big relief.
