## Create seeder file
!!! summary "Use Case"
We will be creating an Admin and Forum Moderator role.
First we need to create the seeder file using `php artisan`.
```sh
php artisan make:seeder UserRolesSeeder
```
### Define roles in seeder file
In the seeder file we created above, which should be located at `database\seeds\UserRolesSeeder.php`, we will define the roles in the `run` method.
```php
\HttpOz\Roles\Models\Role::create([
'name' => 'Admin',
'slug' => 'admin',
'description' => 'Custodians of the system.', // optional
'group' => 'default' // optional, set as 'default' by default
]);
\HttpOz\Roles\Models\Role::create([
'name' => 'Forum Moderator',
'slug' => 'forum.moderator',
]);
```
!!! tip
Because of Sluggable trait, if you make a mistake and for example leave a space in slug parameter, it will be replaced with a dot automatically, because of str_slug function.
### Seeding the created Roles
To be able to call the UserRolesSeeder when we run `php artisan db:seed` we need to add it to the run method in the `database\seeds\DatabaseSeeder.php` file.
```php
$this->call(UserRolesSeeder::class);
```
When we run db:seed in php artisan the roles will be created in the database.
```sh
php artisan db:seed
```
