Deployer's Guide

Setup

Creating server:

heroku create -n impeachment-tweet-analysis-web

# or connecting to existing server:
# heroku git:remote -a impeachment-tweet-analysis-web

Customizing buildpacks:

heroku buildpacks:remove heroku/nodejs
heroku buildpacks:add mars/create-react-app

Customizing the build:

heroku config:set NODE_MODULES_CACHE=false -r heroku-web
heroku config:set NODE_MODULES_CACHE=false -r heroku-web-staging

Configuring env vars:

heroku config:set REACT_APP_API_URL="https://your-api.herokuapp.com"

NOTE: with the react buildpack, need to re-deploy AFTER setting env vars in order for them to be recognized

Deploying:

git push heroku master
#git push heroku mybranch:master

Deploying will run "scripts/build" from "package.json".
