Create a Seed Route​

Sometimes you might need to add data to your database for testing purposes. You can do so like this:

server.js
app.get("/fruits/seed", (req, res) => {
  try {
    const newFruits = await Fruit.create(
      [
        {
          name: "grapefruit",
          color: "pink",
          readyToEat: true,
        },
        {
          name: "grape",
          color: "purple",
          readyToEat: false,
        },
        {
          name: "avocado",
          color: "green",
          readyToEat: true,
        },
      ]);
      res.redirect("/fruits");
    );
  } catch (error) {
    res.send(error);
  };
});
