alphagov / waste-carriers-prototype Goto Github PK

Prototypes for the 'Register as a waste carrier' service on GOV.UK.

You can view the prototypes on GitHub.

To discuss these prototypes, use the wiki.

The prototypes use:

• Ruby
• the Middleman static site generator
• the Sass CSS extension language
• the ERB templating language
• the GOV.UK Frontend Toolkit

If you want to easily publish the prototypes to GitHub pages you'll also need Rake

Once you've cloned or forked the repository you'll need to initialise the GOV.UK Frontent Toolkit, which is included as a submodule. Run the following terminal commands from the project folder:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Middleman comes with it's own development server. In the project folder, enter the following terminal command:

middleman

This will start a local web server running at: http://localhost:4567/

You can create and edit files in the source folder and see the changes reflected on the preview web-server. Sass files will be automatically compiled as well.

If you want to publish the prototypes to GitHub Pages, there's a Rake task for that. Just type:

rake publish
