  New features

  Use our base configurable component to build your own configurable component

  We've added a ConfigurableComponent class to help you build your own configurable components. It extends our Component class and allows you to focus on your components' specific features by handling these shared behaviours across components:

  • checking that GOV.UK Frontend is supported
  • checking that the component is not already initialised on its root element
  • checking the type of the root element and storing it for access within the component as this.$root
  • taking a configuration object as a parameter and then storing it for access within the component as this.config
  • merging a passed configuration object with configuration options specified on the data attributes of the root element

  We introduced this change in:

  • #5499: Rename GOVUKFrontendComponentConfigurable, export ConfigurableComponent
  • #5456: Refactor Accordion to extend from a GOVUKFrontendConfigurableComponent

  Deprecated features

  Importing Sass using govuk/all

  You'll see a warning when compiling your Sass if you import all of GOV.UK Frontend's styling using govuk/all. Importing using the all file is deprecated, and we’ll remove it in the next major release.

  In your import statements, use a trailing /index rather than /all to load GOV.UK Frontend's files:

  • @ import "govuk/index"; instead of @ import "govuk/all";

  You do not need /index at the end of each import path if you’re using Dart Sass.

  This change was introduced in pull request #5518: Deprecate govuk/all.scss and only reference govuk/index.scss internally.

  We've made fixes to GOV.UK Frontend in the following pull requests:

• 5.7.1 - 2024-10-11

  Recommended changes

  Stop setting a value for File upload components

  The File upload component currently supports a value parameter, which populates the value HTML attribute of the input.

  However, since no modern browser supports passing a value to a file input, we've made the decision to remove this parameter. It has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of GOV.UK Frontend.

  We introduced this change in pull request #5330: Deprecate File upload component's value parameter.

  Fixes

  We've made fixes to GOV.UK Frontend in the following pull requests:

  • #5396: Update various department brand colours
