Code Structure
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
**Backend**
|
|
|
|
InvenTree is developed using the `django web framework <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`_, a powerful toolkit for making web applications in Python.
|
|
|
|
The database management code and business logic is written in Python 3. Core functionality is separated into individual modules (or *apps* using the django nomenclature).
|
|
|
|
Each *app* is located in a separate directory under InvenTree. Each *app* contains python modules named according to the standard django configuration.
|
|
|
|
**Frontend**
|
|
|
|
The web frontend rendered using a mixture of technologies.
|
|
|
|
Base HTML code is rendered using the `django templating language <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/templates/>`_ which provides low-level access to the underlying database models.
|
|
|
|
jQuery is also used to implement front-end logic, and desponse to user input. A REST API is provided to facilitate client-server communication. |
