- 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
When we converted textboxes on Notify to govuk-frontend design system
style with @tombye , we did not remove the imports.
This work is now done in this commit.
Some things that will still stay in our repo for now:
textbox macro in our components folder and associated css
textboxes which are really textarea fields (🤷 how do they work)
textboxes on the styleguide page
We should revisit this when we convert textarea fields
to govuk-frontend.
Changes those fields in the following forms:
- DateFilterForm
- RequiredDateFilterForm
Includes changes to templates that use this form
and associated tests.
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.
This commit does two things:
- brings the ‘All organisations’ page back within the platform admin
part of the site (because it’s hard to find otherwise)
- makes the layouts of all the pages within platform admin a bit closer
to the service-specific pages in terms of heading sizes, spacing, etc
so that moving between them doesn’t feel so jumpy
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 replaces the buttons that aren't part of a macro and that we don't
need to write additional styles for with their govuk-frontend equivalent.
There were some links that were styled to look like buttons, so these
have also been replaced with the new govuk-frontend macro.
There was one button on the `choose-account.html` template that was in a
section of code that was never reached - this has been deleted.
Includes:
- in gulpfile.js:
- add details macro to list of those copied from GOVUK Frontend
- remove existing details polyfill
- convert all, but one, <details> tags to use GOVUK Frontend details component
- add jinja boolean filter to help setting 'open' attribute of <details> tags
Notes on the `<details>` not included in this:
The `<details>` used for notifications items on
the API integration page is not possible to
reproduce with the GOV.UK Frontend macro so I'm
splitting the resulting work out into it's own
commit.

This will stop us repeatedly forgetting to add `novalidate` and
`autocomplete='off'` to our forms (which is how most of them are set
up).
It uses sensible defaults, based on how we most-commonly configure
forms:
- most of our forms are `post`ed (but this can be overridden)
- `autocomplete` should only be enabled where it makes sense, otherwise
it’s more annoying than useful (but this can be overriden)
- we should never be using HTML5 form validation because our own error
styles and messages are better
Both `<button type='submit'>Submit<button>` and
`<input type='submit' value='Submit'>` can be used to submit a form.
We have historically[1] used `<input>` because it’s better-supported by
IE6 in that:
- the `submit` attribute is mandatory on `<button>`, not on `<input>`
- the `innerHTML` of a button will be submitted to the server, not the
value (as in other browsers)
Reasons to now use `<button>` instead:
- IE6/7 support is no longer a concern (especially with deprecation of
TLS 1.0 on the way)
- Because an `<input>` element can’t have children, the pseudo-element
hack[2] used to ensure the top edge of the button is clickable doesn’t
work. We’re seeing this bug[3] affect real users in research.
1. We inhereted our buttons from Digital Marketplace, here is me making
that change in their code: 8df7e2e79e (diff-b1420f7b7a25657d849edf90a70ef541)

There are way too many links in the top nav now (when you’re using the
site as a platform admin).
And how often are you going to look at the letter jobs page really?
This commit adds some internal navigation for the platform admin area of
the platform, copying the style that works for navigating a single
service.
We have a lot of services now. Mostly we want to look at what live
services are doing. So loading up the trial mode services every time
slows things – generating, rendering and using the page – right down.
This commit adds two new pages, one to view only live services, and one
to view trial mode services.
