Laravel Seeder
==============

[](#laravel-seeder)

Run one or more of your seeder files with this very easy command.

Introduction
============

[](#introduction)

Did you notice the work it takes to perform database seeding in Laravel nowadays? Uncomment, comment and uncomment your calls again. Well, not anymore, with *Laravel Seeder* all the `boring` and `unnecessary` work it's done! Here you can perform a database seeding with only one command without having to modify your DatabaseSeeder.php file. Amazing huh?

Instalation
===========

[](#instalation)

Required steps
--------------

[](#required-steps)

In the ***require*** key of master ***composer.json*** file add the following.

```
"welderlourenco/laravel-seeder" : "dev-master"
```

Run the Composer update comand

```
composer update

```

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the ***provider*** in the ***app/config/app.php*** config file.

```
return array(

  // ...
  'providers' => array(
  	// ...
    'WelderLourenco\LaravelSeeder\Providers\LaravelSeederServiceProvider'
  ),

)
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

*Laravel Seeder* adds to your `db` command namespace, two more commands:

```
php artisan db:all

```

It will search for all Seeder files inside your `/seeds` folder and run them.

```
php artisan db:only --files="UserTableSeeder"

```

It will run only the files you specify in the `--files` option, please, notice that you can pass multiple files separated by colon: `--files="UserTableSeeder, RoleTableSeeder, PermissionTableSeeder"`

Thanks
======

[](#thanks)

Thank God for the knowledge to write all this.
