</details>

The base schema is the Prisma file that contains your generator and datasource. This file is vital to the core functioning of Prisma and Prisma Util, and as such it is a required part of the configuration file. To set a base schema, add the following line to your exported configuration object:&#x20;

{% code title="prisma-util.config.mjs" %}
```javascript
export default {
    // Other configuration lines
    baseSchema: "yourPath"
}
```
{% endcode %}
