teal is a modular framework that relies on a suite of related packages, as illustrated in the above diagram, to provide a wide range of functionalities.

teal’s primary function is to create web app for analyzing clinical trial data but it has a multitude of features distributed across various packages.

Developers can selectively leverage these packages, such as teal.widgets, teal.code, and teal.logger, to build teal modules for a teal app. This approach gives the developers the tools that speed up their work and avoid re-implementing existing logic and UI elements.

The teal modules utilize various packages such as tern, osprey, and goshawk to perform calculations and analyses. These packages provide support to the teal modules by performing all computations while the modules only have to focus on how to wrap the input options and the output.

Once developed, new and existing modules can be integrated into teal to create a functional teal app.

Why so many packages?

By breaking down teal features, modules, and calculations into dedicated packages, maintenance is made significantly more manageable.
