Razzle Heroku Deployment example

How to use

Create and start the example:

npx create-razzle-app --example with-heroku with-heroku

cd with-heroku
yarn start

Deploy to Heroku:

Heroku manages app deployments with Git so:

Setup Git:

git init
git add
git commit -m "Heroku deployment, first commit"

Setup Heroku:

• Create a Heroku account
• Install Heroku CLI and authenticate
• Create Heroku app: heroku create
  • or heroku create <appname> if you want to specify an app name (checks for unique app name)
  • or heroku git:remote -a <appname> if you already created an App in the dashboard
• Verify with git remote -v:

heroku	https://git.heroku.com/<appname>.git (fetch)
heroku	https://git.heroku.com/<appname>.git (push)

Deployment

• yarn deploy or git push heroku master
  • or from another branch, other than master: git push heroku <feature-branch>:master
• Console should complete with: https://appname.herokuapp.com/ deployed to Heroku
• Verify app by opening https://appname.herokuapp.com/

👉 Please note

• Heroku expects a yarn.lock file to be able to recognise yarn as your package manager and process the yarn commands - so make sure to run yarn install before deployment, and to commit the yarn.lock file.

Idea behind the example

This is a basic example of how to use razzle and deploy to Heroku with Git.
