laravel-source-seeder

Laravel Seeder that allows for simple importing/exporting of database state from/to a given environment using a standardized workflow.

Installation

Add the following snippet to your Application's composer.json in repositories

{
  "type": "vcs",
  "url": "git@github.com:bythepixel/laravel-source-seeder.git"
}

Next, run this command:

• composer require bythepixel/laravel-source-seeder

Export Seeder Source Files (.json)

• php artisan seeder:build {table?}
• Generates .json files for all relevant tables (or as passed in by the table parameter)
• This command will typically be executed on a production environment to export "real" production data
• Once files have been generated they can be committed to the repository allowing new environments to be up to date
• If executed on a remote environment, scp is recommended to copy the json files
  • scp -rp ./database/seeders/Source <user>@<public_ip>:/srv/www/database/seeders/Source

Example Seeder Class Implementation

namespace Database\Seeders;

use LaravelSourceSeeder\SourceSeeder;

class LocationSeeder extends SourceSeeder
{

}
