Methods

$loader->load_fixture($file_or_data:(Str|HashRef|ArrayRef), [%option])

Loading fixture and inserting to your database. Table name and file format is guessed from file name. For example, "item.csv" contains data of "item" table and format is "CSV".

In most cases %option is not needed. Available keys of %option are as follows.

Data format is guessed from extension. Table name is guessed from basename. Leading alphabets, underscores and numbers are considered table name. So, "user_item-2.csv" is considered CSV format and containing data of "user_item" table.

data format

"CSV", "YAML" and "JSON" are parsable. CSV file must have header line for determining column names.

Datas in "YAML" or "JSON" must be ArrayRef or HashRef containing HashRefs. Each HashRef is the data of database record and keys of HashRef is matching to column names of the table.
