# Jifty::Bootstrap(3pm)

Insert initial data into your database

## 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.
