Prerequisites

Node.JS LTS version

GitHub

and Nodemon installed globally

Run npm i nodemon -g

Then run the app

Add a .env file and add the following keys:

BASE_URL=http://localhost:3066
sessionkey=xxx
apikey=xxx
cmsurl=xxx
airtableFeedbackKey=xxx
airtableFeedbackBase=xxx

Contact DesignOps for the keys to use in your local environment. These must never be checked in to source code - the file is included in the .GITIGNORE file.

Run npm install

Run npm run dev

While this is the same command for GOV.UK prototypes, this app is not built using the kit.

We've just made it easier to remember what commands to run for those unfamiliar with running Node apps locally.

Information

When running this command, you may see "Deprecation Warning: Using / for division outside of calc() is deprecated and will be removed in Dart Sass 2.0.0."

These are from the GOV.UK Frontend and you do not need to do anything.
