Database seeding

[izznat]

Hello!

So, I've been trying to seed database with Prisma with no success. The problem is that Go doesn't allow us to have more than one main function in main package, even in different file. Executing package other than main also not allowed. Is there anyone who has a way to create a seed script in Go with prisma-client-go?

Hope some of you know the way, thanks!

You can use a different package (instead of a different file in the same package. The package folder can be anything, but the package name in the Go file needs to be main. Then you can add a main function there and run it via CLI.

Create a folder seed in the root of your project, and create a file seed.go (but both folder and file name can be anything).

package main // <- note the main!

import (
	"log"
)

func main() {
	log.Printf("asdf")
}

Then run it via:

go run ./seed/main.go

Let me know if that helps.
