Indigo logo

Indigo is Laws.Africa's legislation database for managing, consolidating and publishing legislation in the Akoma Ntoso format.

It is a Django python web application using:

  • Django
  • Cobalt -- a lightweight Python library for working with Akoma Ntoso
  • Bluebell -- a generic Akoma Ntoso 3 parser, supporting all hierarchical elements and multiple document types
  • django-rest-framework

Local development

Refer to https://indigo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/running/index.html

Adding translation strings

Each indigo package has its own translations in the locale directory, and Javascript translations are in static/i18n. Translations for strings are added on CrowdIn.

If you have added or changed strings that need translating, you must tell Django to update the .po files so that translations can be supplied through CrowdIn.

scripts/extract-translations.sh
npm run extract-translations

And then commit the changes. CrowdIn will pick up any changed strings and make them available for translation. Once they are translated, it will open a pull request to merge the changes into master.

Once merged into master, you must tell Django to compile the .po files to .mo files:

python manage.py compilemessages

And then commit the changes.

npm module dependencies

Indigo is migrating to modules written in ES6 using Vue. This code needs to be compiled into a single JS file using webpack.

npm install
npx webpack

During development, using npx webpack -w to watch for changes and recompile automatically.

Testing

To run the tests use:

python manage.py test
