Allows to use subdirectory configured via environment variable as a project root
Add as a first buildpack in the chain. Set PROJECT_PATH
environment variable to point to project root. It will be promoted to slug's root, everything else will be erased. Following buildpack (e.g. nodejs) will finish slug compilation.
Disclaimer: I may change the code without notice, so always pin to specific github version. Provided as is.
How to use:
-
heroku buildpacks:clear
if necessary -
heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/timanovsky/subdir-heroku-buildpack
-
heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs
or whatever buildpack you need for your application -
heroku config:set PROJECT_PATH=projects/nodejs/frontend
pointing to what you want to be a project root. - Deploy your project to Heroku.
How it works
The buildpack takes subdirectory you configured, erases everything else, and copies that subdirectory to project root. Then normal Heroku slug compilation proceeds.
