Created Data in database

To create data, use Sequelize seeders to bulk create your data:

  1. Edit the config.json file with local database name.
  2. Create your models and migrate into database
  3. Create a seeder with sequelize seed:create --name Seedername
  4. Update seeder to contain bulk create methods:
'use strict';

const data = [
  {
    username: 'John Doe',
    password: 'password',
    createdAt: '2017-07-04T02:05:01+00:00',
    updatedAt: '2017-07-04T02:05:01+00:00'
  },
  {
    username: 'John Doe1',
    password: 'password',
    createdAt: '2017-07-04T02:05:01+00:00',
    updatedAt: '2017-07-04T02:05:01+00:00'
  },
  {
    username: 'John Doe2',
    password: 'password',
    createdAt: '2017-07-04T02:05:01+00:00',
    updatedAt: '2017-07-04T02:05:01+00:00'
  }
];

module.exports = {
  up: function (queryInterface, Sequelize) {
      return queryInterface.bulkInsert('Users', data, {});
  },

  down: function (queryInterface, Sequelize) {
      return queryInterface.bulkDelete('Users', null, {});
  }
};
  1. Push the database to the Heroku database: heroku pg:push myLocalDatabaseName DATABASE_URL --app herokuAppName
