Introduction

This is the AWS layer that provides an API for EPS Prescription Status Update.

  • packages/updatePrescriptionStatus/ Handles updating prescription status for the root endpoint.
  • packages/sandbox A sandbox endpoint returning an example response.
  • packages/specification/ This Open API Specification describes the endpoints, methods and messages.
  • packages/statusLambda/ Returns the status of the updatePrescriptionStatus endpoint
  • packages/capabilityStatement/ Returns a static capability statement.
  • packages/cpsuLambda Handles updating prescription status using a custom format.
  • scripts/ Utilities helpful to developers of this specification.
  • postman/ Postman collection to call the API. Documentation on how to use it are in the collection
  • SAMtemplates/ Contains the SAM templates used to define the stacks.
  • .devcontainer Contains a dockerfile and vscode devcontainer definition.
  • .github Contains github workflows that are used for building and deploying from pull requests and releases.
  • .vscode Contains vscode workspace file.
  • .releaserc semantic-release config file

Consumers of the API will find developer documentation on the NHS Digital Developer Hub.

Contributing

Contributions to this project are welcome from anyone, providing that they conform to the guidelines for contribution and the community code of conduct.

Licensing

This code is dual licensed under the MIT license and the OGL (Open Government License). Any new work added to this repository must conform to the conditions of these licenses. In particular this means that this project may not depend on GPL-licensed or AGPL-licensed libraries, as these would violate the terms of those libraries' licenses.

The contents of this repository are protected by Crown Copyright (C).

Development

It is recommended that you use visual studio code and a devcontainer as this will install all necessary components and correct versions of tools and languages.
See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers for details on how to set this up on your host machine.
There is also a workspace file in .vscode that should be opened once you have started the devcontainer. The workspace file can also be opened outside of a devcontainer if you wish.
The project uses SAM to develop and deploy the APIs and associated resources.

All commits must be made using signed commits.

Once the steps at the link above have been completed. Add to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf as below:

use-agent
pinentry-mode loopback

and to your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf as below:

allow-loopback-pinentry

As described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59170001

You will need to create the files, if they do not already exist. This will ensure that your VSCode bash terminal prompts you for your GPG key password.

You can cache the gpg key passphrase by following instructions at https://superuser.com/questions/624343/keep-gnupg-credentials-cached-for-entire-user-session

CI Setup

The GitHub Actions require a secret to exist on the repo called "SONAR_TOKEN". This can be obtained from SonarCloud as described here. You will need the "Execute Analysis" permission for the project (NHSDigital_eps-prescription-status-update-api) in order for the token to work.

Continuous deployment for testing

You can run the following command to deploy the code to AWS for testing

make sam-sync

This will take a few minutes to deploy - you will see something like this when deployment finishes

Stack creation succeeded. Sync infra completed.

Note - the command will keep running and should not be stopped. You can now call this api.

curl -X POST https://${stack_name}.dev.eps.national.nhs.uk/

You can also use the AWS vscode extension to invoke the API or lambda directly

Any code changes you make are automatically uploaded to AWS while make sam-sync is running allowing you to quickly test any changes you make

Pre-commit hooks

Some pre-commit hooks are installed as part of the install above, to run basic lint checks and ensure you can't accidentally commit invalid changes. The pre-commit hook uses python package pre-commit and is configured in the file .pre-commit-config.yaml. A combination of these checks are also run in CI.

Make commands

There are make commands that are run as part of the CI pipeline and help alias some functionality during development.

Install targets

  • install-node Installs node dependencies
  • install-python Installs python dependencies
  • install-hooks Installs git pre commit hooks
  • install Runs all install targets

SAM targets

These are used to do common commands

  • sam-build Prepares the lambdas and SAM definition file to be used in subsequent steps.
  • sam-run-local Runs the API and lambdas locally.
  • sam-sync Sync the API and lambda to AWS. This keeps running and automatically uploads any changes to lambda code made locally. Needs AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE and stack_name environment variables set.
  • sam-deploy Deploys the compiled SAM template from sam-build to AWS. Needs AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE and stack_name environment variables set.
  • sam-delete Deletes the deployed SAM cloud formation stack and associated resources. Needs AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE and stack_name environment variables set.
  • sam-list-endpoints Lists endpoints created for the current stack. Needs AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE and stack_name environment variables set.
  • sam-list-resources Lists resources created for the current stack. Needs AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE and stack_name environment variables set.
  • sam-list-outputs Lists outputs from the current stack. Needs AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE and stack_name environment variables set.
  • sam-validate Validates the main SAM template and the splunk firehose template.
  • sam-deploy-package Deploys a package created by sam-build. Used in CI builds. Needs the following environment variables set.
    • artifact_bucket - bucket where uploaded packaged files are
    • artifact_bucket_prefix - prefix in bucket of where uploaded packaged files ore
    • stack_name - name of stack to deploy
    • template_file - name of template file created by sam-package
    • cloud_formation_execution_role - ARN of role that cloud formation assumes when applying the changeset

Clean and deep-clean targets

Publish targets

  • publish Outputs the specification as a single file into the dist/ directory. This is used when uploading to Apigee, which requires the spec as a single file.

Compiling

  • compile Compiles all code
  • compile-node Runs tsc to compile typescript code

Check licenses

  • check-licenses Checks licenses for all packages used - calls check-licenses-node, check-licenses-python

Github pages

Github pages is used to display deployment information. The source for github pages is in the gh-pages branch.
As part of the ci and release workflows, the release tag (either the short commit SHA or release tag) is appended to _data/{environment}_deployments.csv so we have a history of releases and replaced in _data/{environment}_latest.csv so we now what the latest released version is.
There are different makefile targets in this branch. These are

  • run-jekyll - runs the site locally so changes can be previewed during development
  • sync-main - syncs common files from main branch to gh-pages branch. You must commit and push after running this
  • install-python installs python dependencies
  • install-hooks installs git pre commit hooks
  • install-node installs node dependencies
  • install-jekyll installs dependencies to be able to run jekyll locally
  • install runs all install targets
