#$seed

#Import

typescript 
1import { $seed } from "alepha/orm";

#Overview

Activate seed mode: a convenience wrapper around $mode that runs the handler inside a database transaction.

When SEED=true (or MODE=SEED) is set, the owning class becomes alepha.target, the graph is pruned, and the handler runs inside db.transactional(). After completion (or error), the app stops automatically.

Returns true if seed mode is active, false otherwise.

#Examples

ts 
 1import { $seed } from "alepha/orm"; 2import { $repository } from "alepha/orm"; 3  4class AppSeed { 5  users = $repository(userEntity); 6  7  seed = $seed({ 8    handler: async () => { 9      await this.users.create({ name: "John Doe" });10    },11  });12}
bash 
SEED=true node app.js
