# james2m/seedbank

Seedbank gives your seed data a little structure. Create seeds for each environment, share seeds between environments and specify dependencies to load your seeds in order. All nicely integrated with simple rake tasks.

## What it is
Seedbank is a Ruby gem that adds structure to Rails seed data by organizing seeds into common and environment-specific directories with dependency ordering. It integrates with Rake, generating granular db:seed tasks per environment and per seed file.

## Use cases
- organize rails seed data into files
- load different seed data per environment
- run seeds in dependency order
- seed only development or staging data
- reseed database on project checkout

## When to choose
- you use Rails and your seeds.rb has grown unwieldy
- you need environment-specific seed data with shared common seeds
- you want fine-grained rake tasks for individual seed files

## When to avoid
- you are not using Ruby or Rails
- your seed data is small enough for a single seeds.rb
- you need a framework-agnostic seeding solution with advanced features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, cli, database
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, databases
- platform: ruby, cli
- tags: rails, seed-data, rake-tasks, database-seeding
