> **📦 Metapackage**: This is the primary Framework M package. Installing it gives you everything required to build applications. For individual components, see the [Related Packages](#related-packages) section.

## Overview

Framework M is inspired by [Frappe Framework](https://frappeframework.com/) but built with modern Python practices:

- **Hexagonal Architecture**: Clean separation via Ports & Adapters
- **Async-First**: Native asyncio with Litestar and SQLAlchemy
- **Type-Safe**: 100% type hints, mypy strict compatible
- **Stateless**: JWT/Token auth, no server-side sessions
- **Metadata-Driven**: Define DocTypes as Pydantic models

## Installation

```bash
pip install framework-m
```

Or with `uv`:

```bash
uv add framework-m
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Define a DocType

```python
from framework_m import DocType, Field

class Todo(DocType):
    """A simple task document."""

    title: str = Field(description="Task title")
    description: str | None = Field(default=None, description="Task details")
    is_completed: bool = Field(default=False, description="Completion status")
    priority: int = Field(default=1, ge=1, le=5, description="Priority (1-5)")
```

### 2. Use the CLI

```bash
# Show version
m --version

# Show framework info
m info

# Start production server
m prod

# Start development server
m dev
```

## Features

### Metadata-Driven DocTypes

DocTypes are Pydantic models with automatic:

- Database table generation
- REST API endpoints
- JSON Schema for frontends
- Validation and serialization

### Hexagonal Architecture

# pyproject.toml
[project.entry-points."framework_m.overrides"]
repository = "my_app.adapters:CustomRepository"
```
