The email pattern looked a bit shonky when displayed in a narrower column. This
commit fixes it by making the email’s metadata (eg subject, from) into a table,
which it sort of is. This means that it is more flexible about the size of
container in which it sits.
This commit adds a new page, which appears after a user enters the name for
their new service. It shows how the service name will appear in emails and
text messages.
This means that the new service is not created until after they have confirmed
that the name is appropriate in context.
This has also involved:
- visual changes to the ‘email template’ pattern, which wasn’t very refined
before
- removing a bunch of words from the enter service name page, because most users
don’t read them, and we reckon that showing a preview is a better way of
getting them to understand what is meant by service name
Still to do:
- validating the the generated email address for a service is unique (on the
API) side
- having the API return the generated email address, rather than determining it
in the admin app
This commit brings in the `Template` util, added here:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/1
It also does a fair bit of tidying up, which I’ve unfortunately squashed into
this one massive commit. The main change is moving 404 handling into the
templates dao, so that every view isn’t littered with `try: … except(HTTPError)`.
It also adds new features, in a prototypy sort of way, which are:
- download a prefilled example CSV
- show all the columns for your template on the 'check' page
If the templates page contains text messages and emails then there’s two ways it
could be structured:
- into two sections, all text messages first, then all emails
- emails and text messages interleaved, sorted by date
I think the second one is better. Imagine a situation where you mostly do emails
but have a few text messages. You’d have to scroll past the text messages to get
to your emails. Every time.
I reckon that the most commonly accessed templates will be the most recent ones.
