# GOV.UK Publishing Components

govuk_publishing_components is a Ruby gem to document and distribute components for GOV.UK applications. It provides:
- a shared library of components
- helpers to generate component payloads
- an application to preview components and provide guidance
- [GOV.UK Design System](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/) styles and components (via [GOV.UK Frontend](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend))
Only add a component to this gem if it is required in more than one application. Please do not add application-specific components to govuk_publishing_components.
All components should meet the accessibility standards for browser and assistive technology support described in [GOV.UK Frontend](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend#browser-and-assistive-technology-support).
## Technical documentation
### Run the application
```sh
./startup.sh
```
See also [Local frontend development](https://docs.publishing.service.gov.uk/manual/local-frontend-development.html).
### Run the test suite
```sh
bundle install
yarn install
bundle exec rake
```
### Run the JavaScript tests alone
With text-only output to the terminal:
```sh
yarn run jasmine:ci
```
With output viewable in a browser at :
```sh
yarn run jasmine:browser
```
You need to restart the `jasmine:browser` test server for it to pick up any changes to JavaScript code.
