💡 Useful info

🌱 Create a new seeder

• create a <pluralEntityName>.seed.json file in backend/src/seeding/seeds/ that match the entity you want to seed

• import and export it in backend/src/database/seeds/index.ts

• follow this structure :

  {
    "pluralEntityName": [
      {
        "field1": "someData",
        "field2": "94538032"
      }
    ]
  }

• go to backend/src/seeding/index.ts

  • import it using the TypeScript import alias @/database/seeds
  • find the line // Seed your entities here and paste your seeding instruction at the end of existing ones :

  await seed(EntityClass, entityData.pluralEntityName, {
    relations: [{
      { name: 'relationName', entity: relationEntityClass, property: 'email', type: 'manyToOne'},
    }],
    dates: ['startDate', 'endDate'],
  }
  );

  • the third paramater is optional : an option object where you can pass relations and date properties

    • relations: an array of objects describing the relations
      • name: relation name as a string
      • entity: the entity class of the relation
      • property: optional, specify if other than id
      • type: optional, specify if other than manyToMany
    • dates: an array of date properties as strings

• 🎉 you can now run the seed command (make seed) to add your new seeding data!
