Seeding
In this document, we will explore how to use the Knex.js library with TypeScript to seed a database. Database seeding involves populating the database with initial data, such as default records or sample data, to aid in application development or testing.
Knex.js is a popular SQL query builder for JavaScript, which provides a flexible and convenient way to interact with databases. TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript that adds type safety and enhances code maintainability.
We will cover the following topics in this document:
- Setting up a project with Knex.js and TypeScript
- Creating seed files
- Running database seeders
