GOV.UK Prototype Rig

Rapidly create prototypes of GOV.UK services.

Note This project has been retired.

The GOV.UK Prototype Rig was a re-imagined version of the GOV.UK Prototype Kit. It added new features like filters and feature flags, and dropped compatibility with IE8 and GOV.UK Elements.

This made sense while the Prototype Kit wasn’t actively developed, but that situation later changed. Many of the features of this project were added to the Prototype Kit, alongside a plugin system that made it easier for the community to add new features using that functionality.

Requirements

• Node.js v18
