Walkthrough

This PR updates documentation for Prisma schema by making relation fields required instead of optional across Post and Comment models in both relational and MongoDB database examples. Additionally, it repositions documentation comments within index directives.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Schema model updates
content/200-orm/100-prisma-schema/10-overview/index.mdx, content/200-orm/100-prisma-schema/20-data-model/10-models.mdx
Post and Comment model relations changed from optional to required. author User? becomes author User, and authorId Int? becomes authorId Int in relational examples; similar changes applied to MongoDB examples with String types. Foreign key fields made non-nullable to align with required relations.
Documentation formatting
content/200-orm/100-prisma-schema/20-data-model/30-indexes.mdx
Two comment lines repositioned within index documentation blocks, moving descriptive text from before to after corresponding index directives without altering semantics.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Verify consistency: Confirm that all nullable relation fields (both User? and Post?) have been updated to required across both relational and MongoDB contexts
  • Cross-reference changes: Ensure the authorId and postId field type changes (Int/String optionality) align with their relation field updates
  • Schema semantics: Validate that making these relations required does not conflict with existing documentation context or data model constraints elsewhere in the schema documentation

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Title check ❓ Inconclusive The title is vague and generic, using the phrase 'improve documentation readability' which doesn't convey the specific nature of the schema changes being made. Replace with a more specific title that reflects the actual changes, such as 'fix(prisma-schema): make Post and Comment relations required' or 'fix(prisma-schema): update relation optionality in schema documentation'.

Although both author and authorId can be optional, it is usually necessary for them to be associated with an author.

PS: This change aligns with the order of reading. These two fields are always required in the documentation above.

This seems to be a typo. As One-to-many relations states:

The annotated relation field and relation scalar of a 1-n relation can either both be optional, or both be mandatory

post Post? @relation(fields: [postId], references: [id]) // A comment can have one post
postId Int?
