Nomenclature

• slimmer - Rack middleware for wrapping Rack applications in shared templated layouts

Technical documentation

There are docs for:

• Image optimisation
• GOV.UK components
• Slimmer templates

Running the application

./startup.sh

This will start the server running on http://0.0.0.0:3013

Running Locally

If you'd like to run static locally, and keep all its asset links pointing to the same local instance, you'll need to set PLEK_SERVICE_STATIC_URI, which is the host used for static assets (even on static).

Otherwise it defaults to static.dev.gov.uk, which won't exist if you're just running this repo locally, without the rest of the GOV.UK stack.

To run this app locally, and have it point at its own assets, run it like this:

PLEK_SERVICE_STATIC_URI=0.0.0.0:3013 ./startup.sh

Running the test suite

bundle exec rake runs the test suite.

Javascript unit tests

Tests can run in browser at /specs

Or in terminal to run only the jasmine tests you can use RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake spec:javascript
