- Deleted /stylesheets folder
- Removed sass build from gulpfile
- Changed gov links to usa links
- Changed other govuk styles, like breadcrumbs
- Changed name of uk_components file to us_components
- Fixed a few tests that broke on account of the changes
Includes:
- turning off :visited styles to match existing
design
- swapping heading classes used to make links bold
for the GOVUK Frontend bold override class
- adding visually hidden text to some links to
make them work when isolated from their context
We may need to revisit whether some links, such as
those for documentation and features, may benefit
from having some indication that their target has
been visited.

This is semantically more accurate because it’s describing the whole
table, not just the first column.
Adjusting the font-size to make it sit within the ‘In the last 7 days’
section. Adjusting the spacing because now that we have more borders we
don’t need quite so much whitespace to separate different bits of the
page.
This makes the template statistics section of the dashboard look less
like its own weird thing and more like:
- the templates page
- the upcoming changes to the styling of the received text messages
banner on the dashboard
If you’ve only used one template then this section of the page isn’t
doing its job, which is to show a comparison of the different kinds of
message you’re showing.
I think our initial assumption was that everyone would be using multiple
templates, so it was good to show this part of the page during the
onboarding, to show users where the information was going to appear.
But we have lots of services who only send one template now, typically
where they’re populating the contents of the template themselves. In
which case this part of the page doesn’t offer them any value.
Generally, bigger click areas are better[1], as long as they don’t cause
ambiguity or accidental clicks.
This commit expands the clickable area of tables where the left-hand
column is a link to include the meta information under the link.
We can’t make the whole row clickable, because sometimes we have links
in the right hand column which go to a different place
This commit also removes the CSS for `.spark-bar-label`, because these
elements are visually identical to `file-list`s now.
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law
Removed as part of refactoring the code to generate the graphs of
template usage on the dashboard:
4a226a7a29 (diff-cf78cb5c29a2d3c4d45b61d8617824b7L29)
Didn’t realise that they were used by the functional tests.
This commit puts them back while keeping the code reuse.
The bars were sitting in a table cell with some right padding, so they
never extended all the way to the right. Making it right-aligned removes
this padding, then setting the text to left aligned keeps things looking
the same.
It was a `<dl>` before which is kinda weird. Especially when the jobs
table was a real `<table>`.
It also means we can give it column headings so that new and invited
users have a better idea of what it is.
These numbers don’t look very clickable white-on-black.
Blue is the colour of links, so lets see if they are more clickable in
blue.
The same clicking-a-big-number thing is also happening on the activity
page, so this commit also changes the activity page to look the same.
The graphs of template usage feel a bit weird to me now.
1. They are counts of messages, but the numbers are very small
not big like we do everywhere else (eg the counts on a job)
2. There’s a lot of blue, especially for something that you can’t
click
This commit makes the numbers bigger and the bar chart grey.
If you’re only ever sending one template it’s really useful to be able
to jump straight to that template from the dashboard. So this commit:
- shows the template stats even if there’s only one row
- hides the bar chart if there’s only one row (because it will always be
100%, and won’t be obvious what it is without its siblings)
It’s possible that users will have email and SMS templates with similar
names, and will send them depending on their users’ contact preferences.
So it’s useful to be able to compare how many emails vs SMS you’re
sending, even if the template names are similar.
The dashboard looked a bit table-y. This commit makes four main changes:
- show a bar chart (drawn in CSS) for template usage (only shown if
you’ve used more than one template recently)
- only break down template usage by template name, not template type
(because that’s happening with the big numbers)
- change the style of the ‘show more’ links under each section so that
they are all consistent, and a little less busy (one less keyline)
- remove the ‘recent templates‘ title so that the first two sections of
the page group under ‘in the last 7 days’
> We show the last weeks template usage on the dashboard, which is
> great, but if you're looking for longer term trends, you're out of

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.
> At the moment, we have an all email templates page, and an edit an
> individual page.
>
> This gets messy when we refer to templates like the dashboard and the
> activity views. We solve this currently by using anchor links to the
> list page, but this is clunky.
>
> So lets add it, then update the links on the dash and activity to the
> new view page.
>
> Should be a link from the view a single template page, to the template
> hub page.

When a table is showing the contents of a CSV file, it should look
something like a spreadsheet.
The minimally skeuomorphic way to do this is by adding row numbers.
This commit doesn’t
- make the row numbers monospace (it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t
reflect what actual spreadsheets do)
- make the first column heading ‘Row’ (again, doesn’t reflect how actual
spreadsheets work, and takes up more valuable space)
