A web application front end for use with the UK Trade Tariff API

Trade Tariff Frontend

Now maintained at https://github.com/bitzesty/trade-tariff-frontend

https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/trade-tariff/sections

This is the front-end application for:

• Trade Tariff Backend

This application requires the Trade Tariff Backend API to be running and the following env variable set TARIFF_API_HOST.

Running the frontend

Requires:

• Ruby
• Rails

Uses:

• Memcache

Commands:

./bin/setup
foreman start

Running the test suite

To run the spec use the following command:

RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake

Deploying the application

We deploy to cloud foundry, so you need to have the CLI installed, and the following cf plugin installed:

Download the plugin for your os: https://github.com/contraband/autopilot/releases

chmod +x autopilot-(YOUR_OS)
cf install-plugin autopilot-(YOUR_OS)

Set the following ENV variables:

• CF_USER
• CF_PASSWORD

• SLACK_CHANNEL
• SLACK_WEBHOOK

Then run

./bin/deploy

trade-tariff-frontend's Issues

change the front-end code for footnote popups

We can reduce the amount of data coming over the wire by uniquing the footnotes - and on the commodity page set the footnote popup id to the code rather than a random generated id.

prep for making repo public

change/remove anything sensitive

GET search page is now a 404

Our monitoring picked up that the GET /trade-tariff/search is now a 404 and used to be a 200. I see search has moved to a POST request - could we make it a 200 and add a simple search box on it?

Remove references to FACTER_govuk_platform

We are going to remove FACTER_govuk_platform as an environment variable. It is still referenced in router.rake at

trade-tariff-frontend/lib/tasks/router.rake

Lines 12 to 17 in 6c7e2c8

	task :register_application => :router_environment do
	platform = ENV['FACTER_govuk_platform']
	url = "#{@slug}.#{platform}.alphagov.co.uk"
	@logger.info "Registering application..."
	@router.update_application @slug, url
	end

I suggest converting that to

  task :register_application => :router_environment do
    domain_name = ENV['GOVUK_APP_DOMAIN']
    url = "#{@slug}.#{domain_name}"
    @logger.info "Registering application..."
    @router.update_application @slug, url
  end
