Bumps nhsuk-frontend from 9.6.4 to 10.1.0.

Release notes

Sourced from nhsuk-frontend's releases.

v10.1.0

10.1.0 - 15 October 2025

🆕 New features

Localise character count component

You can now translate the text used by the character count component to:

show when the maximum number of characters or words is reached

show the number of characters or words over or under the allowed maximum

update the textarea description if JavaScript is not available

announce to screen readers when the textarea is focused

The Nunjucks macro accepts new options so you can customise each message. You can:

Use charactersAtLimitText or wordsAtLimitText to provide the text that shows when users have reached the limit.

Use charactersUnderLimitText or wordsUnderLimitText to provide the text that shows when users are under the limit. The component will pluralise the message according to the configured locale and the number of characters or words remaining.

Use charactersOverLimitText or wordsOverLimitText to provide the text that shows when users are over the limit. The component will pluralise the message according to the configured locale and the number of characters or words remaining.

Use textareaDescriptionText to provide the textarea description for assistive technologies. It is visible on the page when JavaScript is unavailable.

The component will replace %{count} with the number of characters over or under the limit.

If you're not using Nunjucks macros, you can use data-* attributes to provide these translations. Within the attribute value, any quotation marks or other characters reserved by HTML needs to be converted into their HTML entity equivalents.

You can:

use data-i18n.characters-at-limit or data-i18n.words-at-limit for when users are at the limit

configure the text that informs the end user they are under the character or word limit, by using data-i18n.characters-under-limit.{other,many,few,two,one,zero} or data-i18n.words-under-limit.{other,many,few,two,one,zero}, with one suffix for each plural form required by your locale

configure the text that informs the end user they are over the character or word limit, by using data-i18n.characters-over-limit.{other,many,few,two,one,zero} or data-i18n.words-over-limit.{other,many,few,two,one,zero}, with one suffix for each plural form required by your locale

configure the description provided to assistive technologies when users focus the input, by using data-i18n.textarea-description.{other,many,few,two,one,zero} to provide the text to set as the description

You can also provide these messages using a JavaScript configuration object when creating an instance of the component or initialising all components. See our guidance on localising NHS.UK frontend for how to do this.

This was added in [pull request #1565: Add character count localisation](nhsuk/nhsuk-frontend#1565).

Smaller versions of radio buttons and checkboxes

You can now use smaller versions of the radios and checkboxes components by adding the nhsuk-radios--small or nhsuk-checkboxes--small class.

This was added in [pull request #1567: Uplift GOV.UK Frontend form field components](nhsuk/nhsuk-frontend#1567).

Updated Nunjucks macro options for components

For consistency with other components, we’ve added new Nunjucks macro options:

Back link visuallyHiddenText option

Breadcrumbs nested backLink component option

Contents list landmarkLabel and visuallyHiddenTitle options

Do and Don't list prefixText option, with nested item text and html options

... (truncated)
