Latitude Framework

Latitude is an open-source full-stack framework for building user interfaces on top of your live data using code.

1. Connect to your database or data warehouse
2. Write composable SQL queries with custom parameters to pull and transform your data in real-time
3. Use simple frontend components to display it in a rich and interactive application, which can be embedded or used as is.

⚡ Quick start

Here’s a quick getting started guide to get the sample app up and running:

npm install -g @latitude-data/cli

2. Create the starter project

Run this command to create a new Latitude project:

The CLI will ask you the project name. Once you’re done, you’ll have a new directory with a sample app that you can run and customize.
