Seeding a database can be done using JSON objects, arrays, and spreadsheets. I had recently come across a situation where I had to seed a MySQL Database using a CSV file in Laravel. During my research, resources were very limited and I had to piece together several pieces of research to arrive at this solution.

Read data from a spreadsheet, append it to an array, and then seeding the database by mapping it to a database model.

Therefore, create a folder called Seeders in the public folder and move your CSV file into it.
