Add data in Sequelize migration script?

Question

How can I add data to a table in a Sequelize migration script? This is what I got:

module.exports = {
up: function(migration, DataTypes, done) {
    migration.cr

Actually it is not a good idea to just run a query. queryInterface has create() and bulkCreate() now.

'use strict';
module.exports = {
  up: function(queryInterface, Sequelize) {
    return queryInterface.bulkInsert('roles', [{
      label: 'user',
      createdAt: new Date(),
      updatedAt: new Date()
    }, {
      label: 'admin',
      createdAt: new Date(),
      updatedAt: new Date()
    }]);
  },
  down: function(queryInterface, Sequelize) {
    return queryInterface.bulkDelete('roles', null, {});
  }
};

This returns a promise as expected by sequelize-cli.
