DbSeederUtility is an executable wrapper around the Seeder class library that provides a convenient command-line interface for executing seed-recipes in your local environment.

Installation

The utility can be built and run as a .NET 8 application:

dotnet build
dotnet run -- <command> [options]

Or directly using the compiled executable:

DbSeeder.exe <command> [options]

Examples

Generate and load test organization

# Generate an organization called "seeded" with 10000 users using the @large.test email domain.
# Login using "owner@large.test" with password "asdfasdfasdf"
DbSeeder.exe organization -n seeded -u 10000 -d large.test

# Generate an organization with 5 users and 100 encrypted ciphers
DbSeeder.exe organization -n TestOrg -u 5 -d test.com -c 100

# Generate with Spotify-style collections (tribes, chapters, guilds)
DbSeeder.exe organization -n TestOrg -u 10 -d test.com -c 50 -o Spotify

# Generate a small test organization with ciphers for manual testing
DbSeeder.exe organization -n DevOrg -u 2 -d dev.local -c 10

Options

Option	Description
`-n, --name`	Organization name
`-u, --users`	Number of member users to create
`-d, --domain`	Email domain (e.g., test.com creates owner@test.com)
`-c, --ciphers`	Number of encrypted ciphers to create (optional)
`-o, --org-structure`	Collection structure: Traditional, Spotify, or Modern (optional)

Notes

All users are created with the password asdfasdfasdf
The owner account is always owner@{domain} with Confirmed status
Member accounts are user0@{domain}, user1@{domain}, etc.
Without --org-structure, a single "Default Collection" is created
With --org-structure, collections are created from org model (e.g., Spotify creates tribes, chapters, guilds)
Ciphers are encrypted and distributed across collections using dynamically generated organization keys

Dependencies

This utility depends on:

The Seeder class library
CommandDotNet for command-line parsing
.NET 8.0 runtime
