Constructor Details

#initialize(model_class, constraints, data, options = {}) ⇒ Seeder

Returns a new instance of Seeder.

Parameters:

  • model_class (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    The model to be seeded

  • constraints (Array<Symbol>) —

    A list of attributes which identify a particular seed. If a record with these attributes already exists then it will be updated rather than created.

  • data (Array<Hash>) —

    Each item in this array is a hash containing attributes for a particular record.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (options):

  • :quiet (Boolean) — default: SeedFu.quiet —

    If true, output will be silenced

  • :insert_only (Boolean) — default: false —

    If true then existing records which match the constraints will not be updated, even if the seed data has changed
