> **This is a package to make your development workflow efficient by seeding the database from JSON files quickly.**

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require this package with composer:

```
composer require triasrahman/json-seeder

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Prepare your JSON files for every table you want to seed using format `{table-name}.json`, for example:

*countries.json*

```
[
	{name: 'Afghanistan', code: 'AF'},
	{name: 'Åland Islands', code: 'AX'},
	{name: 'Albania', code: 'AL'},
	{name: 'Algeria', code: 'DZ'},
	{name: 'American Samoa', code: 'AS'},
	{name: 'AndorrA', code: 'AD'},
	{name: 'Angola', code: 'AO'},
	{name: 'Anguilla', code: 'AI'},
	{name: 'Antarctica', code: 'AQ'},
	{name: 'Antigua and Barbuda', code: 'AG'},
	{name: 'Argentina', code: 'AR'},
	{name: 'Armenia', code: 'AM'},
	{name: 'Aruba', code: 'AW'},
	{name: 'Australia', code: 'AU'},
	{name: 'Austria', code: 'AT'},
	{name: 'Azerbaijan', code: 'AZ'},
	{name: 'Bahamas', code: 'BS'},
	...
]

```

Save them into `storage/database`, for example:

```
/storage
	/database
		- users.json
		- cities.json
		- countries.json
		- products.json
		- posts.json

```

On your Seeder class (located at `database/seeds/`), append `use Triasrahman\JSONSeeder\JSONSeeder` namespace and `use JSONSeeder` trait inside the class.

```
