Customizing the Seeder Files

You can modify the seeder files to generate custom dummy data or change default admin credentials.

Register Seeder

File: database/seeders/RegisterTableSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Register;

class RegisterTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run(): void
    {
        Register::factory()->count(100)->create();
    }
}

To customize:

• Change the count(100) value to specify how many dummy users you want to generate.
• Modify the fields in your RegisterFactory to customize the dummy data (names, emails, etc.).
• After editing, run:

php artisan db:seed --class=RegisterTableSeeder

Admin Seeder

File: database/seeders/AdminTableSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Admin;

class AdminTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run(): void
    {
        Admin::factory()->create([
            'username' => 'admin',
            'password' => bcrypt('123456'),
        ]);
    }
}

To customize:

• Change 'username' or 'password' fields as needed.
• Example:

'username' => 'superadmin',
'password' => bcrypt('mypassword123'),

After editing, run:

php artisan db:seed --class=AdminTableSeeder

Notes

• This project was an academic exercise, not intended for production use.
• Built with Laravel 5.0, so some syntax or dependencies may need updates for modern versions.
• Basic QR Code generation and scanning were used to simulate a real-world attendance system.
