        # GOV.UK Frontend Jinja Macros

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/govuk-frontend-jinja.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/govuk-frontend-jinja/)

![govuk-frontend 5.4.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/govuk--frontend%20version-5.4.0-005EA5?logo=gov.uk&style=flat)

[![Python package](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-jinja/actions/workflows/python-package.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-jinja/actions/workflows/python-package.yml)

**GOV.UK Frontend Jinja is a [community tool](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/community/resources-and-tools/) of the [GOV.UK Design System](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/). The Design System team is not responsible for it and cannot support you with using it. Contact the [maintainers](#contributors) directly if you need [help](#support) or you want to request a feature.**

This repository provides a complete set of [Jinja](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/) macros that are kept up-to-date and 100% compliant with the original [GOV.UK Frontend](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend) Nunjucks macros. Porting is intentionally manual rather than automated to make updates simpler than maintaining an automated conversion routine. A [comprehensive test suite](https://github.com/matthew-shaw/govuk-frontend-diff) ensures compliance against the latest, and every subsequent, GOV.UK Frontend release.

If you are looking to build a fully featured Flask app that integrates with [GOV.UK Frontend Jinja](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-jinja) and [GOV.UK Frontend WTForms](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-wtf) please use the [GOV.UK Frontend Flask](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-flask) template repository to [generate your app](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-flask/generate).

Any other versions of GOV.UK Frontend not shown above _may_ still be compatible, but have not been specifically tested and verified.

## How to use

After running `pip install govuk-frontend-jinja`, ensure that you tell Jinja where to load the templates from using the `PackageLoader` as follows:

```python

from flask import Flask

from jinja2 import ChoiceLoader, PackageLoader, PrefixLoader

app = Flask(__name__)

app.jinja_loader = ChoiceLoader(

    [

        PackageLoader("app"),

        PrefixLoader({"govuk_frontend_jinja": PackageLoader("govuk_frontend_jinja")}),

    ]

)

```

### Calling a Macro in your template

To use a component in your project templates you must import and call the component macro and pass the relevant options, for example:

```html

{%- from 'govuk_frontend_jinja/components/button/macro.html' import govukButton -%}

{{ govukButton({

  'text': "Save and continue"

}) }}

```

The options available to each component macro can be found in the original [GOV.UK Design System Components](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/) documentation. Since this project is a like-for-like port, the only difference between the Nunjucks examples and their Jinja equivalents is having to quote key names, e.g. `'text'` instead of `text`.

## Running the tests

The tests are run in a GitHub actions pipeline but if you want to run them locally you will need to install [govuk-frontend-diff](https://github.com/matthew-shaw/govuk-frontend-diff).

There is a test server at `tests/utils/app.py` which you will need to run using the following command:

```bash

(cd tests/utils && python -m flask run --port 3000)

```

You can then run the tests using `govuk-frontend-diff` as follows:

```bash

./govuk-frontend-diff http://localhost:3000 --govuk-frontend-version=v4.8.0

```

This is all wrapped up in `./test.sh` for simplified running (Requires Docker).

## Versioning

We use [SemVer](http://semver.org/) for versioning. For the versions available, see the [tags on this repository](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-jinja/tags).

## How to contribute

We welcome contribution from the community. If you want to contribute to this project, please review the [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and [contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).

### Update methodology

How to update this package following a new release of GOV.UK Frontend:

1. On `govuk-frontend`, compare the last compatible tag and the latest tag, e.g. 

2. If there are any changes to templates in `package/govuk/components//template.njk` read the diff and apply the same changes to the Jinja equivalent templates in `govuk_frontend_jinja/templates/components//macro.html`

3. Take into account any idiosyncrasies between how Nunjucks and Jinja would interpret that template. E.g. `None` checking nested attributes, checking array items lengths or logic operators such as `is`, `not` and `in`.

4. Run the tests [as described above](#running-the-tests)

5. Resolve any failing tests by comparing the expected HTML output with the actual HTML reported by the test tool

6. Add a new row to the [compatibility table](#compatibility) above to show which version of GOV.UK Frontend the next release of this package will be targeting.

7. Once all tests are passing follow the [contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) to raise a pull request.

8. After the pull request has been merged, [create a new release](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-jinja/releases/new) and tag following SemVer conventions.

9. [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/LandRegistry/govuk-frontend-jinja/actions/workflows/python-publish.yml) will run on the new tag to build the package and publish it to PyPI. Verify that the package has been updated with the latest release tag by checking [the project page](https://pypi.org/project/govuk-frontend-jinja/)
