if user has `webauthn_auth` as their auth type, then redirect them to an
interstitial that prompts them to click on a button which right now just
logs to the JS console, but in a future commit will open up the webauthn
browser prompt
content is unsurprisingly not final.
Only the test channel has the option to isolate messages to one network.
This commits makes the choices less confusing by only showing the
network choice to those who have selected the test channel.
It feels quite dangerous that it’s just one click to make an emergency
alerts service live.
This commit adds a confirmation step which explains the consequences of
what you’re about to do.
Previously each navigation class had a list of endpoint to "exclude",
which was only used in tests to ensure that all endpoints in the app
were covered: either they are present in navigation, or excluded.
However, over time the "exclude" lists have grown long and repetitive,
and maintaining each of them individually adds extra work [1][2]. This
switches to a more DRY approach, where the list of excluded endpoints
is defined once, close to the single point of use in the test.
Note the resulting test is _slightly_ less prescriptive, as it will now
pass if an endpoint exist one in navigation, even if it should also
exist in another. This seems a reasonable compromise.

We used to upload this to performance platform to show the list of
services and organisations.
There is no longer a performance platform to upload this file to.
Note, no option at the moment to set the service broadcast account type
as None, or back to without the broadcast permission. This has been done
for speed of development given the chance of us needing this is very
low. We can add it later if we need to.
We think that in some cases alerts will be composed in the moment, and
therefore making people first create a template is:
- not a good use of their time
- adding some conceptual complexity which they don’t need
This commit makes it possible to type some words and have them go
straight into the `content` field in the database.
In the future we might want to progressively enhance the radio buttons
so they show on the same page (like we do with the grey buttons on the
templates page).
Users sending text messages are sometimes unaware that long messages
will cost more.
Users sending broadcast messages need to be aware that there’s a
character limit, so they can take this into account when planning their
messages.
This commit adds an endpoint which counts the number of characters in
some template content, and returns a snippet of useful info about how
long the message is.
In subsequent commits we’ll be able to use AJAX to fetch this snippet as
the user types.
There’s a surprising amount of complexity in counting the length of
messages. So we’ll need to do this in Python because it would be too
convoluted to re-implement the length counting in client side code, let
alone ensuring it had parity with its Python equivalent.
Once a broadcast has been submitted for approval it either lives on the
‘Current alerts’ or ‘Previous alerts’ page, depending on where it is
in its lifecycle.
Therefore when clicking into a broadcast from one of those pages the
same navigation item should remain selected.
Because we select the navigation items based on the request endpoint,
this means we need an endpoint for each navigation page, even if the
content of the pages will be the same in both cases.
This commit adds the two new end points, removes the old, single
endpoint and updates links to point to the new endpoint.
The idea was that this would be a place to document all the design
patterns used in Notify. However it hasn’t been kept up to date, and,
looking at the `git blame`[1] no new patterns have been added for 5
years.
I think it’s better to get rid of it than have to keep maintaining
something which is inaccurate.

Previous alerts are much less important than ones that are live or
waiting for approval.
Therefore we can make the dashboard more focused by moving previous
alerts to their own page.
We don't need these anymore as all users will use the `one-off/step`
routes.
This has mostly involved tidying up the tests which are still a little
disorganised and not as good as I'd like but it's a step in the right
direction.
More refactoring is still possible to the routes, it may come in a later
PR if I have time.
There is no real reason to have to support both 'one-off' steps and also
'test' steps when sending a one off notification. It's a lot of complex
code, just to now set the one of the placeholders in the session.
We make our code much simpler but no longer using the 'test' routes but
instead adding a new endpoint to set the notification recipient when
sending to yourself before continuing on with the rest of the 'one-off'
flow.
After this is deployed for a day then we can completely remove the
'test' routes and this will help remove a lot of code complexity.
We no longer need the `start_tour` page as this has been replaced with
the new `begin_tour` page.
We also no longer need to handle the `help` argument in the
`send_test_step` or `send_one_off_step` as these no longer are
responsible for the tour and don't need to show the help text.
Worth pointing out, the new tour joins into the send one off flow. When
doing a GET `check_tour_notification`, and submitting the form shown on
this page you are POSTed to `send_notification` with `help=3`. Also for
general sending of one off notifications, the POST to
`send_notification` is done with `help=0` which is a bit of a hack to
make sure that we don't show a back link on the `view_notification` page
for when someone gets there having just sent a one off notification.
This use of `help=0` may be a candidate for a refactor in the future as
it feels like a bit of a hacky way of doing things and is therefore not
as clear to developers what is going on.
Also removes the help argument from the csv routes used here. There is
no reason that we need to ever show help for CSVs and this is leftover
code from when we used to do the tour that way.
If a library has groups, we should show a link instead of selecting the
group directly.
Then we can give the user the choice of selecting the whole of that
group, or specific areas within the group.
For now the only libraries we have with groups are local authorities,
which group electoral wards.
We’ve decided that this feature should be self-service, and on by
default for all users. Before we can make it on by default we should
give users a way to switch it off for themselves. Which is what this PR
does.
This is an initial, prototype-quality attempt at introducing some kind
of tour for users new to broadcasting. A lot of the users we’re speaking
to don’t have a good concept of what broadcasting means, which is
causing usability problems down the line.
We did a similar thing in the early days of Notify to explain the
concept of message templates and personalisation.
If a broadcast definitely shouldn’t go out (for example because it has a
spelling mistake or is going to the wrong areas) then we should have a
way of removing it. Once it’s removed no-one else can approve it, and it
isn’t cluttering up the dashboard.
This is a link (because it’s a secondary action) and red (because it’s
destructive, in that it’s throwing away someone’s work).
Since new broadcasts will go into `pending-approval`, we now need a way
of approving them.
This commit adds a button to this page to start (or approve) the
broadcast. This button is wrapped in a bordered box, to emphasise that
it’s something consequential.
Same technique as we use for other pages that update via AJAX.
I’ve split the page up into separate chunks because the DiffDOM library
we use finds it easier to work out what’s changed when there are fewer
elements/a shallower tree.
To make the interface as simple as possible we don’t want to mix up
sending other types of communication where services have the broadcast
permission.
This commit removes the other permissions once a service has been given
the broadcast permission by a platform admin user.
This commit adds a page to view a single broadcast. This is important
for two reasons:
- users need an audit of what happened when, and who else was involved
in approving or cancelling a broadcast
- we need a place to put actions (approving, cancelling) on a broadcast
so that you can confirm details of the message and the areas before
performing the action
Currently this is a `get` request from the dashboard. Once we have a page
for viewing an individual broadcast it should probably show there
instead and be a `get`/confirm/`post` loop like for deleting a template.
These are just so we have some pages to click through for now. They
don’t use real templates, or any of the broadcast stuff from the
database.
But I think it’s useful to get some skeleton pages in first so that we
can see the map etc working in production, then build on that, without
having to do it all in one mega PR.
For that reason there are two short term things I’ve done in this commit
which should be revisited soon:
- no tests for the endpoints
- data about which areas are selected is stored in the session
We’re removing it for performance reasons.
This means removing the old pages that edited the letter contact block
when it was stored directly on the service, rather than the current
model where a service can have multiple contact blocks.
