Easy Reference Data
Used for creating a predefined set of model instances, similar to db:seed, but will update records if entries already exist.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'easy_reference_data'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install easy_reference_data
Usage
Place references in 'db/reference/'
References will be loaded in ascending order, so if an order is desired, prepend 000, 001, 002... etc to the filename.
Run with: rake easy:reference_data:refresh
Deployment
Add this line to your application's deploy.rb file:
require 'easy/reference_data/capistrano'
Example
The below example ensures that there are 3 users existing in the database after running the 'rake reference_data:load'
