BackPack: Boilerplate Template for Webpack2 and Heroku

Webpack 2 is super cool, I wrote a sample boiler code that you can reuse to spin a Express application and setup to deploy to Heroku instantly.

Few things to remember that :

• No Fancy framework or platform are used here, this is clear naked/raw boilerplate, and I'll let you decide to pick your faviorte framework on top of this.

• This boilerplate use HMR and it is cool.

How to get started ?

Clone this code and follow these instructions

• npm i
• npm start
• Visit http://localhost:3000/

Deploy

First, you'll need a heroku account.

• In Heroku, create a new app
• Add a new buildpack, select heroku/nodejs. This should set you up to automatically run npm install which is what you'll need to get up and running.

• Follow the instructions to link your repository

• git push heroku master - Assuming you've set everything up correctly, this will deploy your app, and run the postinstall script in package.json.
