seedbank | Seedbank gives your seed data | Database library

seedbank is a Ruby library typically used in Database, Ruby On Rails applications. seedbank has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

Seedbank allows you to structure your apps seed data instead of having it all dumped into one large file. I find my seed data tended to fall into two categories:. Seedbank assumes that your common seed data is kept under db/seeds and any directories under db/seeds/ are specific to an environment, so db/seeds/development contains all your development-only seed data. The reason behind Seedbank is laziness. When I checkout or re-visit a project I don’t want to mess around getting my environment setup I just want the code and a database loaded with data in a known state. Since the Rails core team were good enough to give us rake db:setup it would be rude not to use it. To achieve this slothful aim, Seedbank renames the original db:seed rake task to db:seed:original, makes it a dependency for all the Seedbank seeds and adds a new db:seed task that loads all the common seeds in db/seeds plus all the seeds for the current Rails environment. Although originally built for Rails, Seedbank can work stand alone thanks to Aleksey Ivanov.
