How can I reload seed data in a Rails application?

You can reload seed data in a Rails application by using the command rails db:seed:replant. This will drop the database, recreate it, and then seed it again.

What if I only want to update specific records?

If you want to update specific records, you can modify your db/seeds.rb file and run rails db:seed again. This will only update the records defined in that file.

Is there a way to seed data conditionally?

Yes, you can use conditional statements in your seeds.rb file to check if a record exists before creating it. For example, you can use find_or_create_by.

Can I run seeds in a specific environment?

Absolutely! You can specify the environment by running rails db:seed RAILS_ENV=development or RAILS_ENV=production as needed.
