[dependabot]

Bumps nhsuk-frontend from 10.4.2 to 10.5.1.

Release notes

Sourced from nhsuk-frontend's releases.

v10.5.1

10.5.1 - 3 June 2026

Note: This release was created from the support/10.x branch.

🔧 Fixes

• #1954: Improve link styles when focused and in high constrast mode

v10.5.0

10.5.0 - 2 June 2026

Note: This release was created from the support/10.x branch.

🆕 New features

New search input component

We've added a new search input component.

To use the searchInput Nunjucks macro in your service:

{{ searchInput({
  label: {
    text: "Find session"
  },
  name: "search",
  width: 10
}) }}

If you are not using Nunjucks macros, use the HTML markup from the search input examples in the NHS digital service manual.

This change was introduced in [pull request #1660: Add search input component](nhsuk/nhsuk-frontend#1660).

Improved character count counting

We've added a new countType option to the character count component to enable improved counting with Intl.Segmenter.

This feature was introduced because JavaScript counts String: length in code units not characters, for example:

String	Length	Remarks
cafȩ́	5	The character ȩ́ counted as 2 code units
cafȩ́	5	The character ȩ with combining mark ́ counted as 2 code units
cafȩ́	6	The character e with combining marks ́ and ̧ counted as 3 code units
😹	2	The cat emoji counted as 2 code units
👩🏻‍🚀	7	The astronaut emoji with gender and skin modifiers counted as 7 code units

Similarly when counting words, "my mother-in-law" is now counted as 4 (not 2) words to correctly follow the Unicode Default Word Boundary Specification.
