Specialist frontend

Specialist documents are now rendered by government-frontend. This application is being retired.

Purpose

Displays long form single page documents published via alphagov/specialist-publisher.

Examples

• Energy Market Investigation published by the Competition and Markets Authority.
• Trade Advocacy Fund published by the Department for International Development.

Dependencies

• alphagov/content-store: provides the document to display.
• alphagov/static: provides static assets (JS/CSS) and provides the GOV.UK templates.

Running the application

./startup.sh

The app should start on http://localhost:3065 or http://specialist-frontend.dev.gov.uk on GOV.UK development machines.

./startup.sh --live

This will run the app and point it at the production GOV.UK content-store and static instances.

or you can run using bowler in the VM from cd /var/govuk/development/:

bowl specialist-frontend

If you are using the GDS development virtual machine then the application will be available on the host at http://specialist-frontend.dev.gov.uk/

$ bundle exec rake
