Seedfile
Create ActiveRecord objects using a CSV file.

As an example, let's use the following CSV file and Car class to seed the database. The first row of the CSV file must be the attribute names.
data.csv
Brand,Model,Year,Price
BMW,3 Series,2014,32750
Mercedes-Benz,CLA-Class,2014,29990

car.rb
class Car < ActiveRecord::Base
endNothing in the database.
>> Car.all
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation []>Create a new Seedfile instance. Pass in the path to the CSV and the model.
>> data = Seedfile.new(path: 'data.csv', model: Car)Seed it.
>> data.seed
Database is populated with data from the file.
>> Car.all
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Car id: 1, brand: "BMW", model: "3 Series", year: 2014, price: 32750>, #<Car id: 2, brand: "Mercedes-Benz", model: "CLA-Class", year: 2014, price: 29990>, #<Car id: 3, brand: "Audi", model: "A4", year: 2014, price: 33800>]>
