Seeders ​

There are 3 types of seeder folder:

1. InitSeeders
2. FakeSeeders
3. PatchSeeders

InitSeeders ​

Provide the necessary data for the application to run smoothly for new cloned environment.

# migrate & all seed in DatabaseSeeder.php
php artisan migrate:seed

# seed specific seeder
php artisan db:seed --class="Database\Seeders\InitSeeders\SomeSeeder"

FakeSeeders ​

Provide data for testing when development. Works with factory & faker.

PatchSeeders ​

Provide the necessary add-on data without resetting the existing data in #initSeeders when new patch is released.
