SeedScatter

SeedScatter is a gem that adds utility and organization to Ruby on Rails seed files by scattering them into multiple files.

SeedScatter allows you to:

• Separate seeds into model specific files
• Dump model information already in the database to their respective seed files

Installation

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'seed_scatter'

And then run:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install seed_scatter

Usage

SeedScatter overrides the default rake task db:seed to separate seeds. Seeding is still just as easy as it was before:

$ rake db:seed

To dump a specific model's information from the database to a seed file:

$ rake db:harvest[MODEL_NAME]

To dump all of your models' information from the database to their respective seed files:

$ rake db:harvest

To re-seed a specific model:

$ rake db:reseed[MODEL_NAME]

Todos

• Support for namespaced models
• Support for join tables
