A tool for content designers to present complex information as a flow of questions, leading to an outcome. While the app is mostly self-contained, some Smart Answers use Whitehall to get data on countries and worldwide organisations.
Smart Answer: The flow, questions and outcomes.
Flow: Defines the questions, outcomes and the rules for navigating between them.
Landing page: Contains a description of the Smart Answer and the "Start now" button that leads to the first question.
Question page: Contains an individual question that's asked in order to help arrive at an outcome.
Outcome page: Contains the result of the Smart Answer based on responses to individual questions.
This is a Ruby on Rails app, and should follow our Rails app conventions.
You can use the GOV.UK Docker environment or run ./startup.sh --live script to run the app. Read the guidance on local frontend development to find out more about each approach, before you get started.
If working on a smart answer that makes use of an API, locally run ./startup.sh --live script to run the app instead of docker.
If you are using GOV.UK Docker, remember to combine it with the commands that follow. See the GOV.UK Docker usage instructions for examples.
