Database Seeding
Overview
Database seeding is the process of populating a database with an initial set of data. In Wapi, we use seeders to set up default configurations required for the platform to function correctly after a fresh installation.
The seeding process populates:
- - Default Settings: Initial application settings.
- - Landing Page: Default content for the public landing page.
- - Roles & Permissions: Standard user roles (Admin, etc.) and access rights.
- - Default Admin Account: A root administrator user to get you started.
- - Pages: Core system pages (Privacy Policy, Terms, etc.).
- - Currency: Available system currencies.
- - Admin Templates: Pre-configured templates for the admin dashboard.
- - AI Models: Initial configuration for AI capabilities.
How to Run Seeding
To seed all data to the database, navigate to your backend directory and run the following command:
- npm run seed
Note: Ensure your .env file is correctly configured
with your MongoDB connection string before running the seed command.
