--skip-fk-checks option: Disable foreign key checks during seeding. Useful for tables with FK constraints that would fail on delete/insert operations.php artisan iseed users --skip-fk-checksThis generates:
\DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;');
\DB::table('users')->delete();
\DB::table('users')->insert(...);
\DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;');Note: This generates MySQL-specific statements.

--database with a non-default connection, the generated seeder now properly uses DB::connection('name')->table() instead of just DB::table(). This prevents accidental data operations on the wrong database.# Default database - generates: \DB::table('users')
php artisan iseed users
# Non-default database - generates: \DB::connection('mysql2')->table('users')
php artisan iseed users --database=mysql2Custom stub templates : Specify a custom stub path via config/iseed.php to customize the generated seed file format.
config/iseed.php to customize the generated seed file format.Create config/iseed.php in your Laravel application:
<?php
return [
'stub_path' => resource_path('stubs'),
];Then create your custom stub at resources/stubs/seed.stub.
