Laravel Database Seeding Running a Seeder
Example
You may add your new Seeder to the DatabaseSeeder class.
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
$this->call(UserTableSeeder::class);
}
To run a database seeder, use the Artisan command
php artisan db:seed
This will run the DatabaseSeeder class. You can also choose to use the --class= option to manually specify which seeder to run.
*Note, you may need to run composer dumpautoload if your Seeder class cannot be found. This typically happens if you manually create a seeder class instead of using the artisan command.
