Leaflet seems to be the go-to library for rendering maps these days. It
will be useful for the broadcast work.
This commit add the leaflet Javascript and CSS to our asset pipeline.
The Javascript is already minified so all we need to do is copy it. The
CSS is uncompressed so we put it through the same pipe as our other
stylesheets.
I’m keeping these as separate files because they’re quite heavy (or the
JS is at least – 38kb minified) so I want them to only be loaded on the
pages where they’re used. Most users of Notify will never need to see a
map.
This should:
- make the page load faster because it has to render less HTML for each
service
- make the page easier to scan for services that are sending lots of
text messages or letters
We used to scan this page to look for services with high failure rates,
and the design of the page was gear towards this. Now we have alerting
for high failure rates, so the page can focus on volumes instead.
This commit also puts the service name above the statistics, so that
long service names don’t break the layout of the page.
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.
This should speed things up by:
- less time waiting for big blobs of JSON to come from Redis or the API
- less time spent deserialising big blobs of JSON
‘Commonly used passwords’ is more specific, and avoids the terminology
‘blacklist’ which the National Cyber Security Centre explain to be
problematic:
> It's fairly common to say whitelisting and blacklisting to describe desirable and undesirable things in cyber security. For instance, when talking about which applications you will allow or deny on your corporate network; or deciding which bad passwords you want your users not to be able to use.

> However, there's an issue with the terminology. It only makes sense if you equate white with 'good, permitted, safe' and black with 'bad, dangerous, forbidden'. There are some obvious problems with this. So in the name of helping to stamp out racism in cyber security, we will
> avoid this casually pejorative wording on our website in the future. No, it's not the biggest issue in the world - but to borrow a slogan from elsewhere: every little helps.
