ERP Project Help
Hello everyone,
I started the Open SaaS project and starting the migrating the database schema using prisma, when I provide ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot our current MySQL. Then ChatGPT asked me to modify schema.prisma file. But I learned in the OpenSaaS document, we should not modify any files in the .wasp folder, but should modify main.wasp instead. How should I go about using GitHub Copilot and ChapGPT starting from this?
little background:
I hope this is the right place to post my question. I have been learning and working with Open SaaS and Wasp for about a month now. I enjoy the process but feel stuck and overwhelmed with my current project for my company.
As a full-stack engineer, I am tasked with rebuilding our company’s ERP system, starting with redesigning an internal product inventory and ordering system. Despite using ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to help me get started, I have faced challenges since they primarily use a regular ReactJS and NodeJS framework instead of following Wasp and Open SaaS architecture.
Thank you @Wasp Expert!

Hi @developwitheddy. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I understand that you're feeling overwhelmed with your project. It's completely normal, especially when you're working with new technologies like Wasp and Open SaaS. Here are a few suggestions based on the knowledge sources provided:
1. Learn from existing projects and templates: There are existing projects and templates that you can learn from. For example, OpenSaaS.sh and this coverlettergpt project (https://github.com/vincanger/coverlettergpt) on GitHub. These projects can give you a good idea of how to structure your project and set up your folders. Source (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1223242184711737404)
2. Follow the Wasp tutorial: If you haven't already, go through the Wasp tutorial (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/tutorial/create). It's a great way to get familiar with Wasp and how to use it in a project. Source (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1223242184711737404)
3. Ask for help in the community: The Wasp community is very active and helpful. Don't hesitate to ask for help in the Discord channel or on GitHub. You can ask specific questions about your project or about Wasp in general. Source (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1202000294456598579)
Remember, it's okay to feel stuck. The important thing is to keep learning and asking questions. Good luck with your project!

Hey @developwitheddy this section is reserved for specific questions. So if you have some, make sure you give us the proper context, code snippets, and any error messages you may be getting so that we can try and properly assist you.
Thank you @Vinny (@Wasp) , I started the Open SaaS project and starting the migrating the database schema using prisma, when I provide ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot our current MySQL. Then ChatGPT asked me to modify schema.prisma file. But I learned in the OpenSaaS document, we should not modify any files in the .wasp folder, but should modify main.wasp instead. How should I go about using GitHub Copliot and ChapGPT starting from this?
yep. All your prisma entities are in the
main.wasp file.
In the future, you can copy & paste the relevant information about Open SaaS from our docs into ChatGPT and tell it that's what you're working with, so that it has the correct context
You could also tell it about the main.wasp file so that it can give you better tips. Of course, if you're stuck, you can always ask here 🙂Thank you @Vinny (@Wasp), it is so good to know we can reach out to who developed the Open SaaS system!
Oh yes we are all here, both Open Saas and Wasp!
you're welcome 🙂
