Lift Off

I arrived at the FGM building by way of my couchsurfing host, Jenny. At the moment, Reston looks a bit like London (at least if you look straight up). Fall has painted the leaves brilliantly, a sight I’m left wanting in Florida.

Jenny graciously dropped me off at the FGM building on her way to school (she’s a school teacher). I gladly accepted arriving an hour early for a free ride, and so I just started wandering the office park. I stumbled on this office “cafe” as it were, and here I sit. I seem to be just outside a free guest wifi network, but that’s ok. For a first-timer at an unconference, or any tech conference for that matter, I feel fairly prepared.

I’ve just made my way into the FGM suite. So far we’re about 32-30 strong!

Super quick start with Lift’s ProtoUser

Lift provides a trait called ProtoUser, which helps you in quickly adding base functionality to your application for user-specific data. The Lift book mentions this class very briefly, but it makes the assumption that the reader will be to intuit how to complete the example code to have a base starting point. Here’s what you must have (assuming this is in the model directory):

package app.model

class User extends ProtoUser[User] with LongKeyedMapper[User] {
def getSingleton = User
}

object User extends User with LongKeyedMetaMapper[User]

You need to mix in the LongKeyedMapper trait, and you need the User singleton.
