How do I set up seeding in TypeORM?

To set up seeding in TypeORM, you need to create a seed file and configure it in your project.

What should I include in the seed file?

In the seed file, you should include the data you want to insert into your database, along with the logic to execute the insertion.

Can you give me an example of a seed file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import { getConnection } from 'typeorm';
import { User } from './entity/User';

const seed = async () => {
  const connection = await getConnection();
  const user = new User();
  user.name = 'John Doe';
  user.email = '[email protected]';
  await connection.manager.save(user);
};

seed();

How do I run the seed file?

You can run the seed file using Node.js. Just execute node path/to/your/seedFile.js in your terminal.
