Seeding

The framework supports Faker-backed seeders through marwa-db and the framework base seeder at Marwa\Framework\Database\Seeder.

Generate a Seeder

php marwa make:seeder UserSeeder

The generated seeder extends the framework base class and gives you faker(), insertMany(), and truncate() helpers.

Run Seeders

php marwa db:seed
php marwa db:seed --class=DatabaseSeeder
php marwa db:seed --dry-run

DatabaseSeeder is a good entry point when you want one file to orchestrate multiple seeders.

Example

use Marwa\Framework\Database\Seeder;

final class UserSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run(): void
    {
        $faker = $this->faker();

        $this->truncate('users');

        $rows = [];
        for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
            $rows[] = [
                'name' => $faker->name(),
                'email' => $faker->unique()->safeEmail(),
            ];
        }

        $this->insertMany('users', $rows);
    }
}

Use the configured seedersPath and seedersNamespace in config/database.php to control where seeders live and how they are discovered.
