============================================
Code derived from nbcnews's buildpack.
This is a fork of Heroku's official Node.js buildpack with support for Grunt, Compass, and Bower. This buildpack could be modified for specific needs of projects that I am working on, so please fork for stability.
This buildpack also assumes you are using Heroku buildpack multi.
Compass will install, and if available, grunt and bower will run installations.
Create a new app with this buildpack:
heroku create myapp --buildpack heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git
Or add this buildpack to your current app:
heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git
Or change the buildpack for a specific app:
heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git --app APP_NAME
Create your Node.js app and add a Gruntfile named gruntfile.js with a heroku task:
grunt.registerTask('heroku', 'clean less mincss');
Create a .buildpacks file and add the following (or add to it):
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
https://github.com/cjsaylor/heroku-buildpack-grunt-compass-bower.git
Don't forget to add grunt to your dependencies in package.json. If your grunt tasks depend on other pre-defined tasks make sure to add these dependencies as well:
"devDependencies": {
...
"grunt": "*",
"grunt-contrib": "*",
}
Push to heroku
git push heroku master
