NAME

Jifty::Bootstrap - Insert initial data into your database

DESCRIPTION

Jifty::Bootstrap is an abstract base class for your application's bootstrapping. Use it to set up initial data in your database when your application is first installed.

EXAMPLE

 package MyApp::Bootstrap;
 use base 'Jifty::Bootstrap';
 
 sub run {
     my $user = MyApp::CurrentUser->new( _bootstrap => 1);
     my $modelclass = MyApp::Model::Thingy->new(current_user => $user);
     $modelclass->create( name => 'Widget');
 }; 

run

run is the workhorse method for the Bootstrap class. This takes care of setting up internal data structures and initializing things in an application-dependent manner.
