Morph is a framework for building web applications using Python and Markdown. You can build the backend of the application with Python and the frontend with Markdown.

​
Directory Structure

The directory structure of the framework is as follows:
workdir
.
├── src
│   ├── pages/
│   ├── python/
│   └── sql/
├── .env
├── Dockerfile
└── morph_project.yml
  • src … Directory to place the source code of the data application
    • pages … Directory to place the frontend MDX files
    • python … Directory to place the backend Python files
    • sql … Directory to place the backend SQL files
  • .env … File to set environment variables
  • Dockerfile … File to build the data application as a Docker container
  • morph_project.yml … File to describe the project settings. The framework recognizes the directory where morph_project.yml is placed as the root directory.
In addition to these, requirements.txt or pyproject.toml for managing Python packages, and package.json for managing JavaScript packages will be placed.

​
Start the Development Server

To check the behavior of the data application, start the development server.
Shell
morph serve
If the server starts successfully with the above command, you can access the data application by accessing http://localhost:8080.

​
Customization

Morph provides convenient features for customizing data applications. To check the functions and features available in SQL and Python, please refer to the Framework Reference. For details on the MDX components available for frontend development, please refer to the Component Reference. When you are ready to share with your team, see Deploy Guide.
