The current link button for removing an area is created using a psuedo element with an 'x' as content. The inline box for the 'x' overlapped its parent. This is visible in high contrast mode, breaking the parent's border. Despite existing in CSS, the 'x' is also announced by screen readers, which is not what we want. This changes it to be an inline SVG with a role of image. It doesn't require as large an inline box so doesn't cause visual issues in high contrast modes. It also means we can set it's label similar to how you would an image's alt text, giving us control over what is announced by screen readers. This commit also includes some extra CSS, targeting high contrast modes, giving the link button the following when viewed in those modes: - a complete border so it is distinguishable from the list item - a focus style

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.
