Welcome to Your Django Seeding Toolkit!
Purpose: Make seeding fast, simple, and full of context!
Whether you're testing, demoing, or onboarding new developers — filling your database with realistic data shouldn't be a chore. This module is designed to help you seed Django models quickly using a smart combo of techniques:
How It Works
We combine different data generators to give you flexible and meaningful seed data:
| Type | What It Does |
|---|---|
faker |
Generates realistic fake data (names, dates, etc.) |
llm |
Uses large language models to generate rich text |
static |
Uses a fixed value for consistent results |
callable |
Runs a function to generate custom dynamic values |
custom |
Calls a reusable method defined in your seeding class |
Fast Rebuilds with Caching
We store seed results in a local SQLite cache table — so if you’ve seeded once, you can rebuild your database instantly the next time. Perfect for:
- Rapid development
- Restoring known states
- Testing edge cases
| Class Variables | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
cache_name |
The name of the cache table | cache_name = 'item_seeder' |
cache_seed |
Whether to cache seed results | cache_seed = True |
Why You'll Love It
- Context-aware data for better realism
- Cached results = faster rebuilds
- Modular generators let you mix faker, LLMs, and functions
