TheGardener

TheGardener helps you to versionize your seed files. If you need to separate seedings from migrations, this gem could be helpfull for you.

TheGardener generates simple seed files filed under db/seeds and stores which seed allready be executed. it's the same procedure like migrations.

Installation

hm, yeah. just add this to your Gemfile:

gem 'the_gardener', '~> 0.2.0'

And then execute:

  $ bundle

Now you just have to install the_gardener in your project:

  $ rails g the_gardener:install

and run your migrations.

  $ rake db:migrate

Usage

Ok, to create a seed file just run:

  $ rails g seed create_new_entries

This will create a seedfile like 20160728211737_create_new_entries (filed under db/seeds). Just put some Model.create or other data manipulation stuff there.

to run all your seed files just

  $ rake tg:seed

If there is some seed which throws an error, the task stopped and all seeds in this seedfile will be canceled. So fix your seed and run it again.
