# Seeding

## Seeding The Database

Optionally you can seed the GraphQL service by executing mutations that will write sample data to the database:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Yarn" %}

```bash
yarn db:seed
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="NPM" %}

```bash
npm run db:seed
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
