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.

Jifty::Plugin::ClassLoader - Automatically generates application classes
DESCRIPTION
"Jifty::Plugin::ClassLoader" loads additional model and action classes on behalf of the application out of the configured plugin classes.
Unlike, "Jifty::ClassLoader", this class will only autogenerate classes if the plugin provides them. The plugin classes are checked before
the base Jifty classes, so that a plugin can override the Jifty class, just as any existing application classes will be loaded first.
new
Returns a new ClassLoader object. Doing this installs a hook into @INC that allows Jifty::Plugin::ClassLoader to dynamically create needed
classes if they do not exist already. This works because if use/require encounters a blessed reference in @INC, it will invoke the INC
method with the name of the module it is searching for on the reference.
Takes two mandatory arguments, "base", which should be the application's base path; and "plugin" which is the plugin classname.
INC
The hook that is called when a module has been "require"'d that cannot be found on disk. The following stub classes are auto-generated:
Application
An empty application base class is created that doesn't provide any methods or inherit from anything.
Application::Record
An empty class that descends from Jifty::Record is created.
Application::Collection
An empty class that descends from Jifty::Collection is created.
Application::Notification
An empty class that descends from Jifty::Notification.
Application::Dispatcher
An empty class that descends from Jifty::Dispatcher.
Application::Bootstrap
An empty class that descends from Jifty::Bootstrap.
Application::Upgrade
An empty class that descends from Jifty::Upgrade.
Application::CurrentUser
An empty class that descends from Jifty::CurrentUser.
Application::Model::AnythingCollection
If "Application::Model::Something" is a valid model class, then it creates a subclass of Jifty::Collection whose "record_class" is
"Application::Model::Something".
Application::Action::(Create or Update or Delete)Anything
If "Application::Model::Something" is a valid model class, then it creates a subclass of Jifty::Action::Record::Create,
Jifty::Action::Record::Update, or Jifty::Action::Record::Delete whose record_class is "Application::Model::Something".
require
Loads all of the application's Actions and Models. It additionally "require"'s all Collections and Create/Update actions for each Model
base class -- which will auto-create them using the above code if they do not exist on disk.
DESTROY
When the ClassLoader gets garbage-collected, its entry in @INC needs to be removed.
