#Web Application Development with Mojolicious Boilerplate

##Configure application menu

• start by editing

conf/config.yaml

• config values found in this file are accessible inside the application as a hash ref in

#$c being the controller instance
$c->app->{config}

• there are 2 demo users in the config file: admin and regular. Those users are used for showing how to build different application menu for different user types. In your application, you'll 'probably' take your users from a DB or something
• based on user types, we have 3 types of menu:
  • anonymous - when there is no one logged in
  • regular - when there is a 'normal' user logged in
  • admin - menu for the admins

##Display error/notice/success messages automatically

• simply push strings into the $self->session->{error_messages} array ref, in order to display error messages

push @{ $self->session->{error_messages} },  'Error message'

• same for notice or success messages:

push @{ $self->session->{notice_messages} },  'You look too good to be true';
push @{ $self->session->{success_messages} },  'Success looks good on anybody';
