sandbox

What it does

Resets your development database, runs all migrations, regenerates types, and populates data in this order:

1. Drop and recreate the database
2. Apply all migrations
3. Run damian generate
4. Run all core populators (automatic, no prompt)
5. Prompt you to choose a single sandbox populator

Gives you a clean, deterministic state for local development.

Run

npx damian sandbox

pnpm damian sandbox

yarn damian sandbox

Populator groups

Sandbox uses special meanings for populator groups:

• core - ./damian/populators/core/*.populator.ts runs automatically before anything else. Typically seeds reference data all scenarios need.
• sandbox - ./damian/populators/sandbox/*.populator.ts represents different scenarios. You pick exactly one.

See the populate page for writing populators.
