README

        
heroku-express

==============

This is a Hello World [express][expressjs] 1.0 app to get going on [heroku's][heroku] experimental [node.js][node] support.  Heroku does not support any packagement management at this time so this project follows the convention of putting everything in `vendor`.

It uses the [html 5 boilerplate][boilerplate] from github to give you a good place to get started.  This gives you a default layout and a bunch of extra crap you probably wouldn't want to have to track down yourself.

Clone this repo and you're ready to go.

Running

=======

For local development you can simply run `node` on the server.js file at the root of the project.  Keep in mind that it doesn't reload code dynamically so you'll end up restarting the server quite often. :)

    % node server.js

Setup

=====

Follow the instructions on the [heroku beta-docs site][beta-docs] to create a project.  It should be as simple as:

    % heroku create my-knockout-app --stack beech

    % git push heroku master

Each time you push to heroku it will display a link that you can open to see your running application.

========

There's also a few branches for other use cases on heroku
