Alexey Bezhan 75fd2d4ffc Add a new boolean radios fields and change forms to use it
This adds a new OnOffField class that implements a boolean field
that is rendered as two On / Off radio buttons. This allows us to
avoid comparing 'on' and 'off' string values in the views since
the field takes care of transforming form data into python booleans.

This also adds a form class that can be used for any single On / Off
switch forms (e.g. service permissions).

Requirements Status Coverage Status

notifications-admin

GOV.UK Notify admin application.

Features of this application

  • Register and manage users
  • Create and manage services
  • Send batch emails and SMS by uploading a CSV
  • Show history of notifications

First-time setup

Brew is a package manager for OSX. The following command installs brew:

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Languages needed

  • Python 3.4
  • Node 5.0.0 or greater
  • npm 3.0.0 or greater
    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 latest version of Node.

    npm install -g n
    n latest
    npm rebuild node-sass

The app runs within a virtual environment. We use mkvirtualenv for easier working with venvs

    pip install virtualenvwrapper
    mkvirtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3 notifications-admin

Install dependencies and build the frontend assets:

    workon notifications-admin
    ./scripts/bootstrap.sh

Rebuilding the frontend assets

If you want the front end assets to re-compile on changes, leave this running in a separate terminal from the app

    npm run watch

Create a local environment.sh file containing the following:

echo "
export NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export FLASK_APP=application.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
export WERKZEUG_DEBUG_PIN=off
"> environment.sh

AWS credentials

Your aws credentials should be stored in a folder located at ~/.aws. Follow Amazon's instructions for storing them correctly

Running the application

    workon notifications-admin
    ./scripts/run_app.sh

Then visit localhost:6012

Updating application dependencies

requirements.txt file is generated from the requirements-app.txt in order to pin versions of all nested dependencies. If requirements-app.txt has been changed (or we want to update the unpinned nested dependencies) requirements.txt should be regenerated with

make freeze-requirements

requirements.txt should be committed alongside requirements-app.txt changes.

Working with static assets

When running locally static assets are served by Flask at http://localhost:6012/static/…

When running on preview, staging and production theres a bit more to it:
