How can I use Faker to seed my Rails database?

You can use the Faker gem to generate fake data for your Rails database. First, add it to your Gemfile.

What do I need to do after adding it to the Gemfile?

Run bundle install to install the gem, then you can use it in your seed file.

Can you show me an example of how to use it in the seed file?

Sure! In your db/seeds.rb, you can write something like:

10.times do
  User.create(name: Faker::Name.name, email: Faker::Internet.email)
end

How do I run the seed file after that?

You can run the seed file with the command rails db:seed. This will populate your database with the fake data.
