docs: prisma generate post install

See original GitHub issue

The docs at https://github.com/prisma/docs/blob/main/content/100-getting-started/02-setup-prisma/100-start-from-scratch/120-mongodb/200-install-prisma-client.mdx states that prisma generate is automatically run after running npm install @primsa/client.

I ran the npm command using both Node v16.x and v18.x and with neither was prisma generate automatically run afterward. I do have a schema file at prisma/schema.prisma.

I am not sure what there is to update, but of course a PR would make that clear - so go ahead and link to it here.

npm does not output postinstall script’s output any more since a few versions. If you start with an empty project (but a schema.prisma file) and then isntall prisma and @prisma/client you should have a generated Client in node_modules/.prisma/client which indicates that prisma generate was indeed run under the hood.
