Start now button: Incorrect name?

[paulrobertlloyd]

Now this is really pernickety, but… what’s called the ‘Start now button’ component in this gem, is commonly referred to as the ‘Start button’. See: https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/button/#start-buttons (Also, the class is govuk-button--start).

Suppose it’s too late to rename this component… or at least until there’s a breaking change?

Arguably it could be an option passed to the govuk_link_to or govuk_button_to helpers instead? Or we create a new Button component...

Trade-offs between more closely following the govuk-frontend macros vs the Rails conventions...!

I did a quick GitHub search to see if the component was in use anywhere and there are a few - I'll hold off the renaming until the next major version and leave this issue as a reminder.

In theory we shouldn't be using the Start now button in services, as it should only be on GOV.UK start pages... ;-)
