How to run all seeders in Laravel 9

In this article, I will show you how to run all seeders in Laravel 9 instead of running individual seeders.

In order to run all seeders in Laravel, you must first create individual seeders using the artisan command below:

php artisan make:seeder AdminSeeder

The above command creates an Admin seeder and will create a file on Database/seeders with the function below:

public function run()
{
Admin::create([
"name" => "Admin lastname",
"email" => "[e-mail]",
"password" => bcrypt("123456")
]);
}

Create another seeder for user as show below:
php artisan make:seeder UserSeeder
When you run, you get the following function:

public function run()
{
User::create([
"name" => "User lastname",
"email" => "[e-mail]",
"password" => bcrypt("123456")
]);
}

In order to run the specific seeders, you can do this by running the below commad:

php artisan db:seed --class=AdminSeeder

To run all seeders at Onces, you need to register all seeders in the DatabaseSeeder.php file.

public function run()
{
$this->call([
UserSeeder::class
AdminSeeder::class
]);
}

After registering the seeders, you can run using the command below:

php artisan db:seed

Summary

This post has gone a long way to discussing how to run multiple seeders at once rather than one by one. I hope it helped you sort out your issue in case you have several seeders.

Thanks for reading!
