Remove dependency on shinygovstyle #24

Closed cjrace closed 1 month ago

cjrace commented 6 months ago

A big one, but at some point we really need to break away from the shinygovstyle package given that it is no longer being maintained. Instead we need to make our own link to the gov uk design system.

Won't be easy but will be huge for the sustainability and design of the UI elements moving forwards.

Starting point for main GOV.UK design system Starting point for prototype components

cjrace commented 6 months ago

This is probably the better starting point for the main front-end system. Two main routes of node.js and pre-compiled (latter not advised for production, but might be the quickest way to test it out and get it working).

If we went down the node.js route, could be worth having a look at how others have handled it too - https://colinfay.me/node-r-package/.

Alternative could be to explore this route? https://co-analysis.github.io/govuk-hugo-demo/rpkg/

Closing now we are actively editing shinyGovstyle so can make any changes we need to there and rely on it knowing we can keep it maintained
