Seeder Example

import { Seeder } from "mongoose-data-seed";
import { User } from "../server/models";

const data = [
  {
    email: "[email protected]",
    password: "123123",
    password_confirmation: "123123",
    isAdmin: true
  },
  {
    email: "[email protected]",
    password: "123123",
    password_confirmation: "123123",
    isAdmin: false
  }
];

class UsersSeeder extends Seeder {
  async shouldRun() {
    return User.countDocuments()
      .exec()
      .then(count => count === 0);
  }

  async run() {
    return User.create(data);
  }
}

export default UsersSeeder;

md-seed-config.js

md-seed excepting to get 3 values from md-seed-config.js

1. mongoose - The mongoose library (so md-seed will use the same version as your project)
2. mongoURL - Url to your mongodb
3. seedersList - A key/value list of all your seeders, md-seed will run your seeders as they ordered in the list.

Example

import mongooseLib from "mongoose";
mongooseLib.Promise = global.Promise;

import Users from "./seeders/users.seeder";
import Posts from "./seeders/posts.seeder";
import Comments from "./seeders/comments.seeder";

// Export the mongoose lib
export const mongoose = mongooseLib;

// Export the mongodb url
export const mongoURL =
  process.env.MONGO_URL || "mongodb://localhost:27017/dbname";

/*
  Seeders List
  ------
  order is important
*/
export const seedersList = {
  Users,
  Posts,
  Comments
};
