Mojo Apps

When developing with Mojo, it's more elegant to modularise functionality into Apps, and this is the default behaviour of the Mojo server loader.

Apps serve as a collection of RequestHandlers, URL Mappings, Models and Templates that make up a set of functionality in your project.

To get started with an app in your project, you can use the mojo_manager.py helper application that will auto create your project folder for you:

python mojo_manager.py -a [YOUR_APP_NAME]

This will create an app folder with certain key files:

  • models.py: This is where you define your models which can be used with your database and forms
  • socket_handlers.py: This is where you define your SocketIO behaviour, each app has it's own dedicated (multiplexed) channel under /[appname]Socket to separate out functionality
  • ui_modules.py: The ui_modules you might or might not be using
  • urls.py: The URL mappings for your request handlers
  • views.py: A list of your RequestHandler classes that handle your app functionality
