Format and Validate Prisma Seed Data Before You Run It
Clean up Prisma seed JSON, verify the structure, and start from a known-good template before it reaches `prisma db seed`.
Why this workflow matters
Seed files tend to grow by copy-paste. One malformed object, duplicated field, or inconsistent enum value can break a local bootstrap or silently insert bad fixture data. Formatting and validating the JSON before you wire it into Prisma keeps the seed step predictable.
What success looks like
- Catch malformed seed payloads before they break `prisma db seed`.
- Keep fixture records readable while the dataset grows.
- Move from a template to validated seed data without leaving the browser.

Recommended workflow
- 1
Start with the Prisma Seed Data template or paste your current seed payload into JSON Formatter to normalize indentation and scan the record shape quickly.
- 2
Run the formatted seed data through JSON Validator to catch syntax issues, duplicate keys, or value mistakes before Prisma reads the file.
- 3
Open the cleaned payload in JSON Viewer or generate matching TypeScript types when you want the seed structure to stay aligned with your Prisma models and app code.
