Chris Hill-Scott d6cf15469f Be agnostic about format when comparing phone #s
If a service is in restricted mode then a user can’t send messages to anyone
other than themselves and members of their team. To do this the API has to
compare the numbers they are sending to with those of their team members.

It will (falsely) say the numbers do not match if they are in a different
format, eg 07700 900849 vs +447700900849

This commit uses the code we use elsewhere for formatting phone numbers to
make sure that both numbers are in a consistent format before doing a
comparison.

I have a strong preference for doing it this way, rather than formatting numbers
before we store them:

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle
2. It’s confusing to a user to see their own phone number formatted in a
   different way to that which they entered it, and the alternative, storing
   the phone number in two different formats is grim

Requirements Status

notifications-api

Notifications api Application for the notification api.

Read and write notifications/status queue. Get and update notification status.

Setting Up

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3 notifications-api

Creating the environment.sh file. Replace [unique-to-environment] with your something unique to the environment. The local development environments are using the AWS on preview.

Create a local environment.sh file containing the following:

echo "
export NOTIFY_API_ENVIRONMENT='config.Development'
export ADMIN_BASE_URL='http://localhost:6012'
export ADMIN_CLIENT_SECRET='dev-notify-secret-key'
export ADMIN_CLIENT_USER_NAME='dev-notify-admin'
export AWS_REGION='eu-west-1'
export DANGEROUS_SALT='dev-notify-salt'
export FIRETEXT_API_KEY=[contact team member for api key]
export FIRETEXT_NUMBER="Firetext"
export INVITATION_EMAIL_FROM='invites@notifications.service.gov.uk'
export INVITATION_EXPIRATION_DAYS=2
export NOTIFY_EMAIL_DOMAIN='notify.works'
export NOTIFY_JOB_QUEUE='[unique-to-environment]-notify-jobs-queue' # NOTE unique prefix
export NOTIFICATION_QUEUE_PREFIX='[unique-to-environment]-notification_development' # NOTE unique prefix
export SECRET_KEY='dev-notify-secret-key'
export SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://localhost/notification_api'
export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=[contact team member for account sid]
export TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=[contact team member for auth token]
export VERIFY_CODE_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS='no-reply@notify.works'
"> environment.sh

NOTE: the DELIVERY_CLIENT_USER_NAME, DELIVERY_CLIENT_SECRET, NOTIFY_JOB_QUEUE and NOTIFICATION_QUEUE_PREFIX must be the same as the ones in the notifications-delivery app. The SECRET_KEY and DANGEROUS_SALT are the same in notifications-delivery and notifications-admin app.

NOTE: Also note the unique prefix for the queue names. This prevents clashing with others queues in shared amazon environment and using a prefix enables filtering by queue name in the SQS interface.

To run the application

You need to run the api application and a local celery instance.

There are two run scripts for running all the necessary parts.
