How to make a seeder for a entity?

How to make a seeder for a entity? I don' want to to add it manually in the admin. Also can I manipulate the data as a file, at least locally?

Yes, you can edit SQLite file. However do maintain the relation consistency. You can add data using API or directly injecting in db file using scripts.

Hello @MURO⚡ you can run npm run manifest:seed to seed all tables. Are you looking for something more specific ? Like a really custom seeder where you have your own values and logic ? If yes can you share some implementations (other tools/frameworks...) that you like ? Thank you

@brunobuddy yes I would like to create a custom seeder for a specific entity, maybe we could have seed files with content like this: seed-workexperience.yml ? with content: 
seed:
  WorkExperience:
    - companyName: "Company BV"
      position: "Software Engineer"
      startDate: "2020-01-01"
      endDate: "2021-01-01"
      description: "I worked as a software engineer at Company BV from 2020 to 2021."
      location: "Amsterdam, Netherlands"
      employmentType: "Full-time"
seed:

this would mean that all WorkExperience items have the same value right ? I think it can be coupled with a faker or something like that to generate dummy values

i mean multiple of those, this is one workexperience hi @brunobuddy , is there any update to this? would love to have seeders like this, so that a coworker can start fresh with data that makes sense in context of the project.
