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.
