# Specify Alternate Location For Prisma Schema
|
|
|
|
By default, Prisma looks for a schema in one of two locations:
|
|
|
|
- `./prisma/schema.prisma`
|
|
- `./schema.prisma`
|
|
|
|
If it isn't in one of those two spots, then you'll get an error.
|
|
|
|
You can manually specify an alternate location. One way is to use the
|
|
`--schema` flag with all `prisma` commands. A less tedious approach
|
|
([introduced in this PR](https://github.com/prisma/prisma/pull/3566)) is to
|
|
specify the location in your `package.json`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"prisma": {
|
|
"schema": "../../packages/database/prisma/schema.prisma"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is handy in situations where your database schema and utils are packaged
|
|
up separately, like in a monorepo. Here is an example of [a monorepo
|
|
referencing a prisma schema in a separate
|
|
package](https://github.com/skillrecordings/products/blob/b10dece7170abcb9076221c0863549e2291541ae/apps/testingaccessibility/package.json#L201-L203).
