    'seeder' => [
        'class' => 'taktwerk\seeder\SeederController'
    ],
],

```

SEEDER COMMANDS
---------------

[](#seeder-commands)

`yii seeder` Seed all tables in `Database::run()`

`yii seeder [name]` Seed a table

`yii seeder [name]:[funtion_name]` Seed a table and run a specific function from selected TableSeeder

- `name` without TableSeeder (e.g `yii seeder user` for `UserTableSeeder`)

`yii seeder/create model_name` Create a TableSeeder in `console\seeder\tables`

For seeder, if the model is not at the root of the `common/models`, just add the folder where the model is located inside the `common/models` directory.

Example:

`yii seeder/create entity/user`

`entity` is the folder where `User` (model) is located inside the `common/models` directory.

To change the default path for models, just change the `$modelNamespace` variable in `SeederController`

**Only Seeders within `DatabaseSeeder::run()` will be used in `yii seeder` command**
