  1. govuk-frontend

    GOV.UK Frontend contains the code you need to start building a user interface for government platforms and services.

    Haha, hi AL!

    Yeah the target for this definitely isn't the regular transactional GOV.UK services. I've added a note at the top of the installation guide:

    > GOV.UK Vue (or any JavaScript library) might not be suitable for your project if it's a standard transactional government service. Make sure you read the guidance on progressive enhancement and building more complex services before starting. GOV.UK Vue is designed to be used in more complex services, like interactive mapping, or internal tools where you've determined that JavaScript is acceptable.

    GDS are also currently doing exploratory work to investigate how Frontend can be more closely integrated with React/Vue/Svelte/Angular etc, so it's definitely not verboten: https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/5172

    SSR/SSG is supported (the docs website is an SSG Nuxt app) but I need to do some work to improve how it works for certain components to ensure the state they're first rendered in is usable on its own (eg defaulting accordion components to open on the server-rendered version)

  4. play-frontend-hmrc

    Happy to see this! Very neat! On my last gig, I was one of the contributors for the govuk components using playframework/twirl: https://github.com/hmrc/play-frontend-hmrc.

  5. dsfr

    🇫🇷 Official french government's design system (Système de Design de l'État)

    Very interesting. France government is providing a design system as well https://www.systeme-de-design.gouv.fr/

  6. crispy-forms-gds

    Django Crispy Forms template pack for the Gov.UK Design System

    Horn tooting time...

    I wrote, https://github.com/wildfish/crispy-forms-gds/, a template pack for Crispy Forms for regular, form-based, Django sites.

    Matt's done a great job and it will certainly take out a lot, if not most of the pain in dealing with accessibility requirements, and in particular the audit process that gov.uk puts projects through to make sure everyone has access to the sites.

  7. JSONForms

    Customizable JSON Schema-based forms with React, Angular and Vue support out of the box.

    Nice!

    I've been using GOVUK stuff for my own purposes for a good-long while now, this should speed up the process.

    I'll try to plug your thing into Json Forms [1], then I'll be back to the good old days .
