Seed multiple rows at once laravel 5

Question

I\'m currently trying to seed my users table. If I try it like this with 2 rows, it fails. It works fine if I just use a single array instead of the 2 arrays inside the $users a

Answer 1

You should use insert instead of create. So the code will look like this:

class UserTableSeeder extends Seeder {

  public function run()
  {
    DB::table('users')->delete();

    $users = [
        ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Stephan de Vries', 'username' => 'stephan', 'email' => 'stephan-v@gmail.com', 'password' => bcrypt('carrotz124')],
        ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'John doe', 'username' => 'johnny', 'email' => 'johndoe@gmail.com', 'password' => bcrypt('carrotz1243')],
    ];

    User::insert($users);
  }

}
