title: What is the recommended path to put your seed data files to be used in seeds.rb file in a Rails 5 project?
body: <p>I have some static records with which I want to initially populate a table in my database.</p>
  
  <p>Either I can write create statements for those records in seeds.rb file or I can make them to be read through a file (txt or csv) in the seeds.rb file. The second way is more manageable as to alter the seed records I would not need to change the code in <code>seeds.rb</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>What is the recommended place to place that data file in a rails 5 project?</p>
