# Heroku Scaler

`HEROKU_TOKEN=token-here APP_NAME=name-here npm start on` to scale up your free dyno.

`HEROKU_TOKEN=token-here APP_NAME=name-here npm start off` to scale down your free dyno.

To run from Heroku Scheduler, first `npm install --save heroku-scaler` and deploy to Heroku. Then, in Scheduler, schedule the command `HEROKU_TOKEN=token-here APP_NAME=name-here node ./node_modules/heroku-scaler/bin/heroku-scaler.js on` (or `off`). Alternatively, set the environment variables beforehand, and just use `node ./node_modules/heroku-scaler/bin/heroku-scaler.js on` or `node ./node_modules/heroku-scaler/bin/heroku-scaler.js off`.

In your app's `package.json`, you can add these tasks to the `scripts` field for even simpler execution.

```json

{

  "scripts": {

    "heroku-on": "node ./node_modules/heroku-scaler/bin/heroku-scaler.js on",

    "heroku-off": "node ./node_modules/heroku-scaler/bin/heroku-scaler.js off"

  }

}

```

`npm run-script heroku-on` and `npm run-script heroku-off` should now work.
