Opal RM Prototype

This repository contains a GOV.UK Prototype Kit prototype for an Opal RM case creation journey.

It uses:

• GOV.UK Prototype Kit
• GOV.UK Frontend
• GOV.UK Prototype Components
• MOJ Frontend

What this prototype does

The prototype demonstrates a multi-page flow for creating and reviewing a case, including:

• case type selection
• applicant and respondent details
• order and application details
• hearing details
• review and submission pages

Prototype data is stored in the session only. There is no database or persistent backend.

Run the prototype locally

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Start the prototype:

npm run dev

3. Open the local URL shown in the terminal, usually:

http://localhost:3000

Where to make changes

• Views: app/views/
• Routes and journey logic: app/routes.js
• Default session data: app/data/session-data-defaults.js
• Filters: app/filters.js
• Front-end JavaScript: app/assets/javascripts/application.js
• Styles: app/assets/sass/application.scss

Working principles

• Prefer GOV.UK Design System, GOV.UK Prototype Components, and MOJ Design System components.
• Use Nunjucks macros instead of handwritten component markup where possible.
• Check GOV.UK Prototype Components before creating custom prototype-only UI patterns.
• Keep changes lightweight and easy to iterate on.
• Treat this as a prototype, not a production service.

Useful scripts

• npm run dev - run the prototype in development mode
• npm run serve - serve the prototype
• npm start - start the prototype
