Database Seeding Enhancement: Improving REST API Initialization

[muttaqin1]

We propose an enhanced approach to seeding the database, ensuring the creation of essential seed data within our REST API's database. This would encompass tasks such as populating default user accounts, sample content, and configuration settings that are pivotal for a seamless application setup.

I agree on that because we already made two modules

• create_default_user.js
• default_roles

it would be much better i we have a seed data

[muttaqin1]

1)We can create a seed dir. Then we will add random json data files like userData.json, roleData.json. After that we will create function which will create records using those json data.

2)We have the functionality to create default users and roles.so we can create a function which will call those functions.

We have to delete those records after our job is done.

What do you think? @bellaabdelouahab

Sure i will get going with that @muttaqin1

the default users credential are in .env file how should we solve that

The default user and default roles will be kept as it is. But we will add additional random datasets for every model. So all the developers can work using the same data.
