Ruby Script to create new model value

Question

Project is the model name and I want to do something like:

Project.create(:name => 'projectname', :identifier => 'projectidentifier')

This should be done in the terminal through a ruby script. I am not going to use rails console to create it nor use seeds.rb in a db file to migrate this as rake db:seed.

Can someone help. Thanks

You still gonna need to load rails app.

The easiest way would be using rails runner (which essentially loads rails):

rails runner your_script.rb

The line of code would be a content of that script.

What about a rake task?

on lib/tasks, create a file named data.rake, and the content:

namespace :data
  desc "Create project data"
  task create_project_data: :environment do
    Project.create(name: 'projectname', identifier: 'projectidentifier')
  end
end

And you can run it as any rake task

rake data:create_project_data

And it will also appear when you list your rake tasks

rake -T
