Laravel Seeder Generator

Laravel Seeder Generator is a package that automatically generates seeders for each table in your database. It simplifies the process of creating seeders, allowing you to focus on other important tasks in your Laravel application.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require airondev/laravel-seeder-generator

Step 1: Register the Service Provider

If you are using Laravel 5.5 or later, the package will be auto-discovered. For earlier versions of Laravel, add the service provider to the providers array in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // Other Service Providers

    Airondev\SeederGenerator\SeederGeneratorServiceProvider::class,
],

Step 2: Publish Configuration File (Optional)

You can publish the configuration file to customize the seeder path. Run the following command:

    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

Usage

Configuration

By default, seeders are generated in the database/seeders directory. You can customize this path by modifying the seeder-generator.php configuration file in your Laravel application's config directory

    // config/seeder-generator.php

    return [
        'path' => env('SEEDER_PATH', 'database/seeders'),
    ];

Generate Seeders

To generate seeders for each table in your database, run the following command:

php artisan make:seeders

This command will create a seeder file for each table in the database/seeders directory.

Customize Stub File (Optional)

If you want to customize the seeder stub file, you can publish it to your application and make your changes:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=stubs

The stub file will be published to the stubs directory in the root of your application. You can edit it to fit your needs.

Example

After running the php artisan make:seeders command, you will see seeder files generated in the database/seeders directory:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

class UsersSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        DB::table('users')->insert([
            // Your data here
        ]);
    }
}
