Answer 1

Yaml files are used by fixtures for testing purposes. On the other hand, you can use db/seed.rb to populate your db with the following command:

rake db:seed

Check the following models:

class Group < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :users
end

class User < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :group
end

You could generate two groups with two users each with the following seed.rb file:

Group.create!([{name: "First group"}, {name: "Second group"}])

User.create!([{name: 'Jack', group_id: 1}, {name: 'Bob', group_id: 1}, {name: 'Robert', group_id: 2}, {name: 'John', group_id: 2}])
