Seed file

A seed file contains all instructions to populate a seed.

Parsers

There are currently 3 available parsers.

• Ruby
• Yaml
• Json

The Ruby parser is recommended as it allows full control over the seeded data. The Yaml and Json parsers provide a non-technical-friendly approach to authoring seed files, but they have limitations, such as looping, and custom logic.
