How do I use Knex.js for database seeding in Node.js?

To use Knex.js for database seeding, you first need to create a seed file using the command knex seed:make seed_name. This will generate a new file in the seeds directory.

What should I include in the seed file?

In the seed file, you should define the exports.seed function, which will contain the logic to insert data into your database tables. Use knex('table_name').insert(data) to add records.

Can I run multiple seed files at once?

Yes, you can run all seed files at once using the command knex seed:run. This will execute all the seed files in the order they were created.

What if I want to reset the database before seeding?

You can reset the database by running knex migrate:rollback followed by knex migrate:latest before executing the seed command.
