# Artisan command options
## [table_name]
Examples:
> php artisan iseed my_table
> php artisan iseed my_table,another_table
## force
Optional parameter which is used to automatically overwrite any existing seeds for desired tables
Example: The following command will overwrite UsersTableSeeder.php if it already exists in laravel's seeds directory.
> php artisan iseed users --force
## clean
Optional parameter which will clean app/database/seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php before creating new seed class.
Example:
> php artisan iseed users --clean
## database
Optional parameter which specifies the DB connection name.
Example:
> php artisan iseed users --database=mysql2
## max
Optional parameter which defines the maximum number of entries seeded from a specified table. In case of multiple tables, limit will be applied to all of them.
Example:
> artisan iseed users --max=10
## prerun
Optional parameter which assigns a laravel event name to be fired before seeding takes place. If an event listener returns false, seed will fail automatically. You can assign multiple preruns for multiple table names by passing an array of comma separated DB names and respectively passing a comma separated array of prerun event names.
Example: The following command will make a seed file which will fire an event named 'someEvent' before seeding takes place.
> artisan iseed users --prerun=someEvent
The following example will assign someUserEvent to users table seed, and someGroupEvent to groups table seed, to be executed before seeding.
> artisan iseed users,groups --prerun=someUserEvent,someGroupEvent
The following example will only assign a someGroupEvent to groups table seed, to be executed before seeding. Value for the users table prerun was omitted here, so users table seed will have no prerun event assigned.
> artisan iseed users,groups --prerun=,someGroupEvent
## postrun
Optional parameter which assigns a laravel event name to be fired after seeding takes place. If an event listener returns false, seed will be executed, but an exception will be thrown that the postrun failed. You can assign multiple postruns for multiple table names by passing an array of comma separated DB names and respectively passing a comma separated array of postrun event names.
Example: The following command will make a seed file which will fire an event named 'someEvent' after seeding was completed.
> artisan iseed users --postrun=someEvent
The following example will assign someUserEvent to users table seed, and someGroupEvent to groups table seed, to be executed after seeding.
> artisan iseed users,groups --postrun=someUserEvent,someGroupEvent
The following example will only assign a someGroupEvent to groups table seed, to be executed after seeding. Value for the users table postrun was omitted here, so users table seed will have no postrun event assigned.
> artisan iseed users,groups --postrun=,someGroupEvent
