snaplet/seed automates dummy data for a local database

snaplet/seed takes a database schema and uses AI to generate fake data, including relationships, to make testing and development easier.

npx @snaplet/seed init
npx @snaplet/seed sync
# edit the seed.ts file 
npx tsx seed.ts

You can also add dryRun: true to the seed script to just log the SQL and see what will be inserted (docs).

const seed = await createSeedClient({
  dryRun: true
});

The same team have also open sourced snaplet/copycat for generating deterministic test data.
