Seeding:-

• Laravel includes a simple method of seeding our database with test data using seed classes.
• All seed classes are stored in database/seeds directory.
• There is no as such naming convention for seeds.
• By default, a DatabaseSeeder class is defined for us.
• In this class, by default, "run" method is defined, which can be used to run other seed classes.
• To generate a seeder, we need to use make:seeder Artisan command.
• All seeders that are generated will be placed in database/seeders directory.
• The default method "run()" is called, whenever db:seed Artisan command is executed in the command prompt.
• To seed our database after we have written seeder classes, we need to execute db:seed Artisan command.
• By default, db:seed command runs the DatabaseSeeder class, which may be used to call other seed classes.
• To tun specific seeder class individually, "--class" option is used.

                    php artisan db:seed --class=UserTableSeeder

• Whatever, changes we have done in seed classes, can be updated or rather re-build by using:-

                    php artisan migrate:refresh --seed
