Port of flask_prototyping
A simple Python flask prototyping tool.
To get some pages up and running quickly it make use of the 3 GOVUK frontend building blocks.
- govuk_template - template containing the GOV.UK header and footer, and associated assets
- govuk_frontend_toolkit - collection of Sass & JS
- govuk_elements - design guide and example (adds some Sass components)
Requires you to have Ruby 2.2.0 or higher
Running in a virtualenv is advised. To create one, with Python 3, run
mkvirtualenv --python=`which python3` <name>
(agsstatic might be a good name)
When returning run workon <name> to activate the virtualenv you just created.
Then install the dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
gem install bundle
We then need to fetch the latest GOVUK assets
python manage.py install_all_govuk_assets --app-dir application
Then you should be ready to run it
python manage.py runserver
Follow the instructions returned on the commandline to view it in your browser
For basic heroku instructions [see here](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk_prototype_kit/wiki/Deploying-(getting-your-work-online\))
There are a couple of additional steps required to deploy this project.
Because it is a python app that also requires ruby to compile the .scss files it needs multiple buildpacks. Luckily someone has made this easy for us, we just need to use the heroku-buildpack-multi
Add a .buildpack file containing the 2 buildpacks
And then let Heroku know we are using this. We do that by entering this on the commandline
heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git
