Laravel Seeders Best Practices

Seeder best practices:

Organize Seeders

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        $this->call([
            RolesSeeder::class,
            UsersSeeder::class,
            PostsSeeder::class,
        ]);
    }
}

Use Factories

User::factory()
    ->count(50)
    ->has(Post::factory()->count(5))
    ->create();

Truncate Tables

Schema::disableForeignKeyConstraints();
User::truncate();
Schema::enableForeignKeyConstraints();

Environment Check

if (app()->environment('production')) {
    return;
}
