Create a Taipy application

Taipy provides a comfortable environment for getting started with Taipy via the create command, and is the best way to start building a new application with Taipy.

From the default template

To create a simple Taipy application, you can run taipy create, then answer a few questions to customize your application.

$ taipy create
application_name [taipy_application]: new_application
application_main_file [main.py]: app.py
application_title [Default title]: App Title
$ cd ./new_application
$ python app.py

In this example, we scaffold a new application using the default Taipy template, which is a simple Taipy GUI single-page application. Here, we define the application name as "new_application", the main Python file of the application as "app.py", and the title of the web page as "App Title". Then we change the directory (cd) to our newly created folder and start the application by running python app.py.

Info

If there is no answer provided, the default value in the square brackets will be applied.

From a specific template

You can also specify another template using the --template option.

$ taipy create --template multi-page-gui
application_name [taipy_application]: new_application
application_main_file [main.py]: app.py
application_title [Default title]: App Title
$ cd ./new_application
$ python app.py

In this example, we scaffold a new application using the "multi-page-gui" template, which is a multi-page Taipy GUI application.

Please refer to the next section for a list of templates.
