FillMeUp-Sequelize

FillMeUp Sequelize is a utility to manage seed data with the Sequelize ORM.

Installation

npm install fillmeup-sequelize

Usage

• FillMeUp-Sequelize simply takes in your Sequelize models and the path to your seed data and handles adding the data to the database automatically.
• Here is how you can run your seed data:

const models = require("../models");
const fillmeup = require("fillmeup-sequelize");

fillmeup.run(models, __dirname + "/seed_data");

• This code will run all JSON files located inside seed_data.

Seed Data

• FillMeUp-Sequelize expects your seed data in a specific format.
• Seed data must follow this structure:

{
	"Model Name": [Array of objects that you want added to the database]
}

• Here is an example JSON file:

{
    "Customer": [
        {
            "customer_name": "Joe Sinclair",
            "customer_email": "[email protected]",
            "customer_phone": "4157689485",
            "company_name": "Joe's Workshop"
        },
        {
            "customer_name": "John Singh",
            "customer_email": "[email protected]",
            "customer_phone": "6478578374",
            "company_name": "Singh's Auto Haul"
        },
        {
            "customer_name": "Gary Kibble",
            "customer_email": "[email protected]",
            "customer_phone": "8476409586",
            "company_name": "Kibble Tech"
        }
    ]
}
