Seeders

Mithril provides a seed command to insert demo data for development.

Run the Seeder#

mithril seed
# or: make seed

This runs cmd/seed/ which creates a demo user (when configured). Seeds are manual only — they do not run on app startup or Air reload.

Implementation#

Seed logic lives in cmd/seed/main.go. It connects via DATABASE_URL, hashes passwords with bcrypt, and inserts into the users table.

To customize:

1. Edit cmd/seed/main.go
2. Add additional repositories/models as needed
3. Run mithril seed

Safety#

• Do not run seed in production without reviewing inserted data
• Registration via API is disabled by default (ENABLE_REGISTER unset)
• Use mithril createsuperuser for production admin accounts
