Fuel DB Seeder

Package for Database seeding in FuelPHP.

This package adds the functionality to seed the database with data using seed classes, that could call the Models defined for your project.

Install

You need to add webfatorial in your list of sources defined in fuel/core/config/package.php, file that should be copied to the fuel/app/config folder, explained in more datails in FuelPHP Oil Packages Docs.

On array item sources, add github.com/webfatorial:

'sources' => array(
    'github.com/fuel-packages',
    'github.com/webfatorial',
),

After that, you can run the oil install command:

php oil package install fuel-db-seeder

Or download it manually and place in you packages directory.

Configuration

Add fuel-db-seeder to the always_load => packages, in the config.php:

'always_load'  => array(
    'packages'  => array(
        // 'orm',
        // 'auth',
        // 'email',
        // 'parser',
        'fuel-db-seeder',
    ),
),

Copy config/db-seeder.php to app/config/db-seeder.php. In this file, you should place order call classes, which will be called to populate the database.

Usage

In your project, you'll need to create the following structure:

/fuel
    /app
        /classes
            /seeds

On folder /seeds, you'll create the seed classes. An example of that class can be found in /examples/pageseeder.php.

With these classes created, and properly set in the app/config/db-seeder.php, you should run the command:

php oil r seed

After that, your database will be populated with data you set in the seeds classes.

Requirements of seeding classes

1. Must be in /fuel/app/classes/seeds
2. Must be in the namespace Seed
3. Must have a static method called seed

All such obligations can be found at /examples/pageseeder.php.
