Seeding package tables in Laravel 4

Question

I am aware of how to set up Package Migrations on Laravel 4 (using --bench="vendor/package" / --package="vendor/package").

But I can't seem to work out how to set up seeds for those migrations?

-- To clarify - I am aware of how to use the seeder, what I need to know is how to setup up a seed file for a standalone package? You can give a package separate migrations...

Answer 1

You can use the Seeder class like in app folder.

Database Seeding in Laravel 4

For exemple :

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Page;

class MySeeder extends Seeder {

    public function run()
    {
        Page::create(array('title' => 'Foo-Bar !'));
    }

}

and specify " --class " arg in :

$ php artisan db:seed --class="MySeeder"

Take care to make your class loaded by composer :)
