Try a demo prototype

To start exploring and experimenting straight away, you can run this example GOV.UK style prototype.

Make sure you have followed the setup instructions before you start.

Run the example protoype​

In the command line, run the following command. Replace prototype-name with an example prototype name of your choice.

npx nowprototypeit create --variant @nowprototypeit/govuk-frontend-adaptor prototype-name
  1. When prompted, enter y to continue.
  2. Run cd prototype-name (or the name you gave your protoype).
  3. Run npm run dev.

By default, the prototype opens at http://localhost:3000. The Prototype Manager opens at http://localhost:3000/manage-prototype.

Troubleshooting​

  • If npm run dev produces a list of errors: Check that you have successfully run cd prototype-name (or the name you gave your prototype). Run pwd to see the directory your command line is currently in.
