Contacts Frontend

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

Display different contact items for an organisation on GOV.UK, fetched from content store.

Contacts are published by alphagov/contacts-admin.

Live examples

A contact page:

• https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/alcohol-duties-national-registration-unit

Note that the index page is served by finder-frontend:

• https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact

Dependencies

• alphagov/content-store - used to fetch contacts
• alphagov/static - applies the GOV.UK look and feel

Running the application outside the GOV.UK VM

To start the app, run the following in the terminal:

$ PLEK_SERVICE_STATIC_URI=assets.digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk \
PLEK_SERVICE_CONTENT_STORE_URI=https://www.gov.uk/api \
./startup.sh

This sets the content-store and static to use the production apps.

You should then be able to navigate to: http://0.0.0.0:3074/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/customs-excise-and-vat-fraud-reporting

Running the application in the GOV.UK VM

Running using bowler in the VM from cd /var/govuk/development/:

bowl contacts-frontend

If you are using the GDS development virtual machine then the application will be available on the host at http://contacts-frontend.dev.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/air-passenger-duty. Note: To view the above page, you will need to have replicated data from preview.
