This has several advantages:
- It gives us more room to explain the error and actions. This will
be useful for upcoming work we want to do, which will add yet more
validations for CSV uploads.
- We already use a flash to show certain kinds of errors on these
pages (just above). This is more consistent.
- It's potentially more accessible. Previously the error and the
button text used to be read out as a single sentence. Now the page
reloads and reads the flash error alone.
In theory we should show an error in both places, but this can be
confusing on pages where there's only a single form control, and
especially if the error is long.
The page_header macro includes an optional back link. Since the
page_header is always used inside `<main>`, where the back link should
not be, this stops setting the back link in the page header and instead
sets it in the new `backLink` block.
All paragraphs should have class="govuk-body", or be otherwise
custom-styled. This commit adds some extra checks to our test fixture
that looks for paragraphs that don’t have any styling. Our test coverage
is pretty good, so this should check almost all pages, and prevent
regressions.
I’ve done this in such a way that it can be extended for other elements
(e.g. links) in the future.
We increasingly have teams wanting to do business-continuity type
messaging. They might be without access to their normal systems, which
is where they would otherwise go to get the list of email addresses or
phone numbers.
So we want to give them a place in Notify where they can store their
spreadsheets and use them at a later date.
For the initial pass we’re going to scope this to only allowing
spreadsheets with one column, ie just phone numbers/email addresses.
This is because:
- it minimises the amount of personal info we’re storing
- it reduces the chance of getting a placeholder error when you go to
send the message, which is probably a high-stress situation where you
might not be able to re-generate the file
The code for this is mostly copied from the existing upload CSV journey.
It’s quite duplicative, but that’s what I needed to do to get this out
quickly. There are opportunities for refactoring later.
Similarly, I would have liked to split this up into better commit
messages, but it really was a case of just bashing code out until it
worked 😳
This commit does not:
- implement the ‘view a contact list page’ (it just has a placeholder
because the API isn’t ready at the moment)
- link to this page (because it’s not ready to use yet)
