What are the best practices for seeding data in Rails?

When seeding data in Rails, it's important to keep your seeds organized, use factories for complex data, and avoid duplicating data.

Can you explain how to use factories in my seed files?

Sure! You can use libraries like FactoryBot to create factories for your models, which helps generate test data easily.

Should I include sensitive data in my seed files?

How can I reset my database and re-seed it?

You can run rails db:reset to drop, create, and seed your database all in one command.
