# Changelog

## Unreleased
## 3.9.0 (feature release)

### New features

#### Add prefix and suffix for text input
#### Add a prefix or suffix to a text input component

You can now add a prefix or suffix element to the text input to help users enter things like currencies and measurements.
You can now [use prefixes and suffixes in the text input component](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/text-input/#prefixes-and-suffixes) to help users enter things like currencies and measurements.

For example:
This was added in [pull request #1816: Add input prefix and suffix](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1816). Thanks to [@simonwhatley](https://github.com/simonwhatley) and the GOV.UK Coronavirus Services Team.

```javascript
{{ govukInput({
label: {
text: "Amount, in pounds"
},
prefix: {
text: "£"
}
}) }}
```

You shouldn't rely on prefixes or suffixes alone because people who use a screen reader won't see them. You should add any specific type of information you need to the input label or hint text as well.
#### Test if your HTML matches GOV.UK Frontend

This was added in [pull request #1816: Add input prefix and suffix](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1816).
You can now use our test fixtures to [check you're outputting the same HTML that GOV.UK Frontend uses](http://frontend.design-system.service.gov.uk/testing-your-html/).

#### Add HTML test fixtures
You can use our test fixtures to check you're outputting the same HTML that GOV.UK Frontend uses.
This was added in [pull request #1925: Generate fixtures.json files for components on build:package](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1925). Thanks to everyone who fed back on [our test fixtures proposal](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/1830#issuecomment-665075842).

This was added in [pull request #1925: Generate fixtures.json files for components on build:package](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1925)
#### Customise navigation in the header component

#### Add new brand colour for The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)
If you use the [header component with navigation](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/header/#header-with-service-name-and-navigation), you can now:

This was added in [pull request #1918: Add new brand colour for FCDO](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1918).
- customise the section's `aria-label` text
- add navigation items without links

#### Render header navigation item without a link
##### Customise aria-label text

You can now render navigation items using the header macro without wrapping them in a link.
You can use the new:

You can do this by setting `text` or `html` and not setting `href`.
- `navigationLabel` option to set the `aria-label` text for the navigation section
- `menuButtonLabel` option to set the `aria-label` text for the button that hides or shows the navigation section on mobile

For example:

```javascript
{{ govukHeader({
navigation: [
{
html: '<form method="post" action="url.com">
<input type="submit" class="app-logout-button-style" value="Log out" />
</form>'
}
]
navigationLabel: "Custom navigation section aria-label",
menuButtonLabel: "Custom menu button aria-label"
}) }}
```

This was added in [pull request # 1921: Make it possible to exclude link from header navigation item](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1921).
The default labels are now:

- **Navigation menu** for `navigationLabel`
- **Show or hide navigation menu** for `menuButtonLabel`

This was added in pull requests:

- [#1905: Set navigation and mobile menu labels of the header component with new options](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1905)
- [#1943: Change header menu button label](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1943) - thanks to [@domoscargin](https://github.com/domoscargin) for raising this issue

#### Set navigation and mobile menu labels of the header with new options
##### Add navigation items without links

You can now customise the `aria-label` attributes of the navigation and mobile menu of the header component using the new `navigationLabel` and `menuButtonLabel` options.
To add a navigation item without a link, use the `text` or `html` option to add the item but do not use the `href` option.

For example:

```javascript
{{ govukHeader({
navigationLabel: "Custom navigation label",
menuButtonLabel: "Custom menu label"
navigation: [
{
html: "<form method='post' action='url.com'>
<input type='submit' class='app-logout-button-style' value='Log out' />
</form>"
}
]
}) }}
```

This was added in [pull request #1905: Set navigation and mobile menu labels of the header component with new options](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1905).
This was added in [pull request #1921: Make it possible to exclude link from header navigation item](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1921).
