Getting started

Install Node.js (see requirements)

Clone this repo

git clone [email protected]:alphagov/govuk_prototype_kit.git

Install dependencies

npm install

This will install folders containing programs described by the package.json file to a folder called node_modules.

Run the app

node start.js

Go to localhost:3000 in your browser.

Hot reload

Any code changes should update in the browser without you restarting the app.

The app recompiles app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss everytime changes are observed.

This project is built on top of Express, the idea is that it is straightforward to create simple static pages out of the box. However, you're not limited to that - more dynamic sites can be built with more understanding of Express. Here's a good Express tutorial.

Integrating Other Prototypes

1. Define a service under app/services.js. This includes which payment types should be available for this service, and its display name, etc.

2. Land the service's own prototype at https://username:[email protected]/landing?service=name&amount=100&return_url=http://other.service.gov.uk. This will begin a journey through the Payments Prototype and at the end, return you to the return_url you specify.
