The dashboard should only talk about notifications that are *successful* or
*failed*. It should not count notifications that are still queued.
This will stop:
- a situation like ‘0 emails, 14.1% failed’
- the big numbers and the template statistics numbers not adding up to
the same total
Currently, when we update a section of the page with AJAX we replace the
entire HTML of the section with the new HTML. This causes problems:
- if you’re trying to interact with that section of the page, eg by
inpecting it, clicking or hovering an element
- (probably) for screenreaders trying to navigate a page which is
changing more than is necessary
This commit replaces the call to `.html()` with a pretty clever library
called diffDOM[1]. DiffDOM works by taking a diff of the old element and
the new element, then doing a patch update, ie only modifying the parts
that have changed.
This is similar in concept to React’s virtual DOM, while still allowing
us to render all markup from one set of templates on the server-side.

This commit:
- moves things around a bit on the request to go live page
- sticks a textbox in there
So when someone click the big green button, we will get a support ticket
that looks something like:
```
From Test User <test@user.gov.uk> on behalf of Test Service
(6ce466d0-fd6a-11e5-82f5-e0accb9d11a6)
---
We’ll send about 1000 text messages in the first month, and then 10,000
text messages per month after that. Usage of our service is about 50%
higher in March, at the end of the tax year.
```
On the team and templates pages we have a pattern for adding a new
‘thing’, which is a green button in the top right.
This commit changes the API key page to follow the same pattern.
Services have a daily limit whether or not they’re in trial mode. So it
only makes sense to tell you that the limit is because of trial mode
when you are in it.

There is a limit of 50 messages per day in trial mode. Right now, we
don’t tell you this, we just start failing your messages.
This commit adds an error message if you upload a CSV file that has too
many rows in it.
When we show an identifier, like an ID or a key, we have a pattern which
adds a ‘copy to clipboard’ button. We weren’t using this pattern for
service ID.
This commit also moves it under the table, so hopefully people will be
less likely to confuse the service ID for an API key when scanning down
the page.
Screen reader users have the option to navigate by jumping between
anchor tags and reading out the content. "Find out more" does not
provide a lot of context about what the link does.
This commit adds some visually hidden text which screen readers will
still read that makes the link work without the visual context.
On the check page, we show what the message will look like with the data
from the first row of the CSV, if the CSV contains all the required
data.
We should do the same for the subject line.

We want to align all our stats to be for the last 7 days.
This means summing up the stats response from the API to make the Big
Number. Previously the big number was counting sent notifications as
successful. This commit changes it to only look at delivered
notifications.
Right now, the API doesn’t have a way of filtering to only show the last
7 days. So for the moment the dashboard will show statistics for all
time.
The upshot of this is that we can link from the dashboard to the
activity page when there are failures.
Elsewhere (eg the dashboard, the activity page) we have email first.
Emails are also anticipated to be slightly more popular in terms of the
number of services sending them.
Therefore it makes sense to have emails first in the main navigation.
For users who:
- want to send messages from a template
- want to edit templates
For developers:
- who need to get the ID of a template
This commit mainly cleans up the choose template page so there are less
options, and the options that are there are less wordy.
This means:
- moving ‘send yourself a test’ onto the send messages page, and making
it button
- stripping a lot of stuff out of the ‘send from API’ page, so it’s more
obvious what the template ID is
There’s no content in the tour that’s specific to a service. And since
we can now take a pretty good guess at what service you last used, or
which service we should send you to if you only have one service,
there’s no need to make the URLs for the tour service-specific.
This also means that you don’t need to be logged in to see the tour
pages, and we have no good reason to only restrict these pages to users
with accounts.
