Seeding a user from terminal input
I am trying to seed a user. I know we can run seeds file by using the following command
mix run priv/repo/seeds.exs
But I would like to pass the following input attrs "first name"this, “last name”, “email” as user input from terminal - like “John”, “Doe”, “john.doe@gmail.com” to
{:ok, user} =
MyApp.App.register_user%{
attrs
})
in seeds.exs.
Any suggestions on how to do this from terminal?

You can pass command-line arguments to the script:
mix run priv/repo/seeds.exs foo bar baz
and access them with with System.argv. You might find the OptionParser module useful.

If you’re on PostgreSQL, you can do an upsert with INSERT INTO ... ON CONFLICT ... which is properly supported by Ecto. See the guide in docs.
