# The Yaf_Bootstrap_Abstract class

(No version information available, might only be in Git)

## Introduction

Bootstrap is a mechanism used to do some initial config before a Application run.

User may define their own Bootstrap class by inheriting Yaf_Bootstrap_Abstract

Any method declared in Bootstrap class with leading "_init", will be called by Yaf_Application::bootstrap() one by one according to their defined order.

## Examples

Example #1 Bootstrap example

`<?php
/* bootstrap class should be defined under ./application/Bootstrap.php */
class Bootstrap extends Yaf_Bootstrap_Abstract {
public function _initConfig(Yaf_Dispatcher $dispatcher) {
var_dump(__METHOD__);
}
public function _initPlugin(Yaf_Dispatcher $dispatcher) {
var_dump(__METHOD__);
}
}
$config = array(
"application" => array(
"directory" => dirname(__FILE__) . "/application/",
),
);
$app = new Yaf_Application($config);
$app->bootstrap();
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    string(22) "Bootstrap::_initConfig"
    string(22) "Bootstrap::_initPlugin"
