How to Deploy to Heroku
- Make sure you have Git setup
- Setup Heroku CLI: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#set-up
- Create a
Procfile
in the root folder of your project and put the following in it:
web: node dist/index.js
- In your
package.json
add the following script to run the TypeScript compiler before Heroku runs your project:
"heroku-postbuild": "tsc"
- In the root folder of your project, use the Heroku CLI to create a new project:
heroku create
- Add a PostgreSQL database addon
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql
- Commit your code and push to Heroku
git push heroku master
Note: You'll want to look at your ormconfig.js
and configure the options you want for production.
