name is designed for a human readable description of what the thing you're copying belongs to. (while thing is supposed to describe what the value represents. For example on the reply-to email address page, thing="ID" because you're copying a uuid, and name is the actual name of the email address. So the talkback speech will read out "copy ID to clipboard for my@email.com, button". However, in our case, there's no need to add what the context is for since each copyable item on the page is something different (a sort code, a VAT number, etc). Removing the name makes the talkback just read "Copy sort code to clipboard", which is what we want. However the macro also only shows a header if the name is present, so we have to add the header manually.

Setting up
Python version
At the moment we run Python 3.6 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.
