# AmbitiousSeeder

Very, very alpha version of gem to add seeds to rails app. At the moment this is very much something I can use - which I may make a bit more production friendly in the future.

## Installation

This gem only works with Rails 3. To install, add it to your gemfile:

    gem 'ambitious_seeder'

## Seeding
    
To generate a seed:

    rails generate seed [seed_name]
    
Say your seed_name was 'rooms', this will create a seed at:

    [app-root]/db/seeds/rooms_seeds.rb

You can add any logic to this file that would work elsewhere in your rails app.

To run, go with:

    rake db:seed:up
    
Once run, this seed cannot be run again - you'll need to reverse it and then run it another time :)

To reverse, try:

    rake db:seed:down SEED=[seed_name]
    
To get a list of all available seeds:

    rake db:seed:list

## Upcoming features

Stuff I guess I'll need, and notes:

* Provision in generator to stop duplicated seeds 
* Probably need the ability to depend on a certain version of the schema - this can be added when the seed is created?
* Transactions?
* Why isn't query logging going to the normal rails logs?
* Add better information logging to STDOUT

# Note on Patches/Pull Requests
 
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
  future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
