This is a Heroku buildpack for Node.js apps.
The buildpack will detect your app as Node.js if it has a package.json
file in the root. It will use npm to install your dependencies, and vendors a version of the Node.js runtime into your slug.
For more information about buildpacks and Node.js, see these Dev Center articles:
To make changes to this buildpack, fork it on Github. Push up changes to your fork, then create a new Heroku app to test it, or configure an existing app to use your buildpack:
# Create a new Heroku app that uses your buildpack
heroku create --buildpack <your-github-url>
# Configure an existing Heroku app to use your buildpack
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=<your-github-url>
# You can also use a git branch!
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=<your-github-url>#your-branch
