sequelize: Create a seed file with the specified name to populate the database.
$ sequelize seed:generate --name ${seed_filename}
try on your machine

The command "sequelize seed:generate --name ${seed_filename}" is used in the Sequelize CLI (Command Line Interface) to generate a new seed file.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "sequelize": Refers to the Sequelize CLI.
  • "seed:generate": Specifies the action to be performed, which is generating a new seed file.
  • "--name": Indicates that the following value should be treated as the name of the seed file.
  • "${seed_filename}": Represents a placeholder for the actual name of the seed file, which you need to provide as an argument. This should be replaced with the desired name of your seed file, without the curly brackets.

For example, if you want to generate a seed file called "create_users", you would use the following command:

sequelize seed:generate --name create_users

This would create a new seed file with the name "create_users.js" in your project's seeders directory. You can then add the necessary logic and data to this newly generated file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
