Seeder

, _(*1)

Purpose

Perform heavy / infrequent actions in a controlled manner., _(*2)

Usage

Use the A7\Seeder\add_seed function to register the seed., _(*3)

\A7\Seeder\add_seed( [
    'name'        => 'User Roles',
    'description' => 'Build user roles',
    'callback'    => 'Dev\user_roles',
] );

This registers the seed with the callback of Dev\user_roles. Create a function with that name (in the appropriate namespace) and this will be the function that runs when you initiate the seed., _(*4)

You can also just create a closure right there:, _(*5)

\A7\Seeder\add_seed( [
    'name'        => 'User Roles',
    'description' => 'Build user roles',
    'callback'    => function() {
        // .. do some logic ..

        echo 'Status of logic';
    },
] );

namespace Dev;

function user_roles() {
    // .. do some logic ..

    echo 'Status of the logic...';
}

Go to Tools -> Seeder and click the corresponding seed button to initialize the callback that you registered., _(*6)

This could be anything such as pre-filling content, auto-creating terms, updating the database in a certain manner, talking to or updating an API, etc., _(*7)

Anything output during the seed callback will get output in an admin notice., _(*8)
