How to populate some default users in Devise?

Question

I'm working on trying to get Devise working in my Rails app. I'm a new Rails user. What's the proper way to add a few default users?

Answer 1

The normal way to set up any default data in Rails is by adding the data in db/seeds.rb:

user1 = User.create :name => "User1", :email => "[email protected]", :password => "user123"

Depending on your validations and devise features you might need to enter more fields. In order to use that data you just call rake db:seed.

rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
