How do I seed data in a Rails application?

How do I seed data in a Rails application?

You can seed data in a Rails application by using the db/seeds.rb file. You define your data there and run rails db:seed.

Can you give me an example of what to put in the seeds.rb file?

Sure! For example, you can create users like this: User.create(name: 'John Doe', email: '[email protected]').

How do I run the seed file after editing it?

After editing the seeds.rb file, you can run rails db:seed in your terminal to populate the database with the defined data.

Is there a way to reset the database before seeding?

Yes! You can run rails db:reset, which will drop the database, create it again, and then run the seeds.
