The sentences in the key to the map have 2 forms: 1. the visual form, with an graphic pattern alongside text saying what the pattern means in the map 2. the semantic form, with text describing what the pattern means and how big an area it covers for this alert This is achieved by making the graphic non-semantic and having hidden words in the sentence for each paragraph. While the spaces between words are correct for both forms of these sentences, we observed screen readers speaking some groups of words as one when they spoke the sentence. Most noticably, 'the alert' was spoken as 'thealert'. Swapping the class used to hide the visually hidden words from ours to the GOVUK one seemed to fix this. It's unclear why it does but the `govuk-visually-hidden` class adds the following styles to those in ours: - width: 1px - height: 1px - white-space: nowrap It also has `margin: 0` instead of `margin: -1px`.

Setting up
Python version
At the moment we run Python 3.9 in production.
NPM packages
brew install node
NPM is Node's package management tool. n is a tool for managing different versions of Node. The following installs n and uses the long term support (LTS) version of Node.
npm install -g n
n lts
environment.sh
In the root directory of the application, run:
echo "
export NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export FLASK_APP=application.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
export WERKZEUG_DEBUG_PIN=off
"> environment.sh
AWS credentials
To run parts of the app, such as uploading letters, you will need appropriate AWS credentials. See the Wiki for more details.
To run the application
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run the web app
make run-flask
Then visit localhost:6012.
Any Python code changes you make should be picked up automatically in development. If you're developing JavaScript code, run npm run watch to achieve the same.
To test the application
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run all the tests
make test
# continuously run js tests
npm run test-watch
To run a specific JavaScript test, you'll need to copy the full command from package.json.
To update application dependencies
requirements.txt is generated from the requirements.in in order to pin versions of all nested dependencies. If requirements.in has been changed, run make freeze-requirements to regenerate it.
