php-laravelHow do I run a seeder in Laravel using PHP?

To run a seeder in Laravel using PHP, you can use the php artisan db:seed command. This command will run the DatabaseSeeder class, which is located in the database/seeds directory.

php artisan db:seed

This command will run all the seeders that are listed in the DatabaseSeeder class. You can also run a specific seeder class by using the --class option.

php artisan db:seed --class=UsersTableSeeder

The above command will run the UsersTableSeeder class. If the seeder class is successful, you will see the following output:

Seeded: UsersTableSeeder

You can also pass additional options to the seeder class by using the --option option.

php artisan db:seed --class=UsersTableSeeder --option=value

The options that are available to you depend on the seeder class that you are running.
