Easy Reference Data

Used for creating a predefined set of model instances, similar to db:seed, but will update records if entries already exist.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'easy_reference_data'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install easy_reference_data

Usage

Place references in 'db/reference/'

References will be loaded in ascending order, so if an order is desired, prepend 000, 001, 002... etc to the filename.

Run with: rake easy:reference_data:refresh

Deployment

Add this line to your application's deploy.rb file:

require 'easy/reference_data/capistrano'

Example

The below example ensures that there are 3 users existing in the database after running the 'rake reference_data:load'

### db/reference/000_users.rb
Easy::ReferenceData.refresh User, :system_code, 'nigel', name: 'Nigel Ramsay', email: '[email protected]'
Easy::ReferenceData.refresh User, :system_code, 'fred', name: 'Fred Schmitt', email: '[email protected]'
