Improve data seeding #85

Closed medhatelmasry closed 4 years ago

medhatelmasry commented 4 years ago

To seed candidates & polling places data, it is necessary to delete the entire database

On Azure: console >> rm PlanYourVote.db

Find an better way of seeing data.

Seeded data should be generic like: candidate1, candidate2, ...

Consider import functionality to load JSON data instead of code first seeding

Consider different data format and tradeoffs i.e. CSVs (lines, Excel support) vs XML (verbose), system vs user data vs demo / test data,

Currently seeding is coupled into the application startup and was intended for testing and demos. Removing it from the application startup is a necessary first step.

Joey Tang >> Moved candidates & polling places into onModelCreating method. Made data generic. Migrations are being used only for candidates & polling.
