DEPRECATED

This repository is now deprecated in favour of using components in a more modular fashion.

• django-govuk-template – adds GOV.UK templates, CSS, JS and other components from GDS’s packages. It does not offer pre-built styles (which would require this package to be constantly updated), but allows projects to determine their own workflow
• django-govuk-forms – allows Django forms to be output with the correct HTML to be styled by GOV.UK CSS
• the packages listed below can be used in your Django project in the usual manner if needed

Features

govuk_template Django template and static directory are included in the package. You can extend the GovUK Template directly

{% extends 'govuk_template/base.html' %}

You can also download the latest govuk_template taball and extract the contentents to a directory of you choice

./manage.py update_gov_template -d /path/to/directory/to/unpack/

This will add the templates and static directories from the latest release of govuk_template to the directory passed as -d

You can include the default settings for all the included apps above by including the default settings in your app settings.py file

from django_gov.settings import *

You can include the urls for the healthcheck endpoints

url(r'^', include('django_gov.urls'))

Testing

If you include the whole default settings, this will add flake8 code style tests to the directory you run your apps.

You can add a setup.cfg file containing your flake8 settings to the base directory of your app.
