meteor-seeder is a simple database seeder for Meteor.
It uses a simple exported constructor in order to provide simple seeding to a MongoDB instance.
Note: This package is based on seeder written by cleverbeagle. Most of the credits goes to them.
If you don't need our trimmed version of the package, please use the original one.
meteor add m4dnation:meteor-seeder
meteor-seeder exports a factory of the Seeder class you can import:
// ES6
import Seeder from 'meteor/m4dnation:meteor-seeder';
// ES5
const Seeder = require('meteor/m4dnation:meteor-seeder');Once imported, you just have to call the factory in order to seed your data to the database:
// In order to differentiate your Seeder factories, we advise you to name them as the data being seeded
import DataSeeder from 'meteor/m4dnation:meteor-seeder';
// Displayed value are default values
DataSeeder(data_collection, {
environments: [], // The environment where the seeder should run (based on NODE_ENV)
data: [], // The data you wanna seed as an array of object
resetCollection: false, // Whether or not the seeder should reset the collection before seeding
seedIfExistingData: false, // Whether or not the seeder should run when there is existing data
enableLogging: false // Whether or not the logging should be enabled for this seeder
});In order to generate your data, you can check out our npm package data-manufactory.
