Suggestion: Add option to seed Canvas from the package itself. I did this in the Laravel app below but I don't know how to add / run a seeder from within the package, else I probably would've created a pull request.
See my commit here, which works rather well:

Good suggestion! I'll see what I can do to get something like this as an optional setup feature.
@austintoddj sweet! and you have 95% of the code already (link above!)
Feature added in v4.2.3
@austintoddj works great, thanks for including in the package, will help others get up and running quickly ;)
Just an idea, may be good to add the command
php artisan canvas:setup --data
to the readme.md file so others know this functionality exists..
