Use variables in seed files

[garethfr]

Is it possible to use variables in seed files?

For example use admin_email variable as follows:

owner_id: "<%= sprig_record(User, admin_email).id %>"

This will allow me to use a different value in dev / staging / prod environments.

I know I can create different seed files for each environment, but I want to avoid duplicating the data when only one field is different.

Would be doable, but tricky. Requiring updates to https://github.com/vigetlabs/sprig/blob/master/lib/sprig/seed/attribute.rb#L26-L27. If you want to take a crack at it, we would review a PR submission. There is no current active development on this project though.
