Seed Service Provider for Laravel Package

A Laravel service provider used for automatically register seeds in a package when call a seeding command in console. This work with all artisan seeding commands (e.g. db:seed, migrate:refresh --seed, ...)

Install:

1. Download and copy SeedServiceProvider.php file in to your package project. Assume your package directory structure like this:

    MyPackage
    |-- src
        |-- Providers
            |-- MyPackageServiceProvider.php
            |-- SeedServiceProvider.php
            |-- ...
        |-- database
            |-- migrates
                |-- ...
            |-- seeds
                |-- FooSeeder.php
                |-- BarSeeder.php
                |-- ...
        |-- ...
   

2. With above directory structure, your path of seeds will like this:

    "/../database/seeds"
   

   You need to set this path in the SeedServiceProvider.php file:

    class SeedServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
    {
        protected $seeds_path = '/../database/seeds';
        
        ...
    }
   

3. Register SeedServiceProvider class in the boot() method of your package sevice provider:

    class MyPackageServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
    {
        /**
         * Bootstrap services.
         *
         * @return void
         */
        public function boot()
        {
            /*
            |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
            | Seed Service Provider need on boot() method
            |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
            */
            $this->app->register(SeedServiceProvider::class);
        }
   
        /**
         * Register services.
         *
         * @return void
         */
        public function register()
        {
            //
        }
    }
   

Usage:

All seed files in your $seed_path will autoload with this command:

    php artisan db:seed

Or with '--seed' option:

    php artisan migrate:refresh --seed

Note:

For favourable, the SeedServiceProvider will be ignored when execute "db:seed" command with "--class" option. This allow you specifies which one of seed you want to use insteads of all package's seeds could be automatically added also.
