I am using seed.rb to populate both my development and production database. I usually populate the first with dummy data and the latter with the real minimal data that my app needs to run (e.g. the first user and so on).
How can I specify in seed.rb for what environment each data is?
Given that I know "group" to be a Gemfile method, I'd like to achieve the same behavior for seed.rb.
E.g. I'd like to write something like this in my seed.rb:
group :development do # development specific seeding code end group :production do # production specific seeding code end # non-specific seeding code (it always runs) This to be able to call both the development-specific and the non-specific code with
$ rake db:seed And to call both the production-specific and the non-specific code with:
$ rake db:seed RAILS_ENV=production Thank you

The seeds.rb file is where the seed data is stored, but you need to run the appropriate rake task to actually use the seed data. Using rake -T in your project directory shows information about following tasks: rake db:seed. Load the seed data from db/seeds.rb.
Rails seed files are a useful way of populating a database with the initial data needed for a Rails project. The Rails db/seeds. rb file contains plain Ruby code and can be run with the Rails-default rails db:seed task.
seeds.rb is just a plain ruby file, so there are several ways you could approach this. How about a case statement?
# do common stuff here case Rails.env when "development" ... when "production" ... end If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
