# Heroku Multipack PHP & Node.js

> An example multipack app that uses a PHP / Nginx backend with Node.js frontend package management / build.

## Usage

```sh

# Clone this repo, or clone your own fork

git clone git@github.com:methodgrab/heroku-multipack-php-node.git

cd heroku-multipack-php-node

# Create a new Heroku app

heroku create

# Add the buildpacks

heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs

heroku buildpacks:add heroku/php

# Deploy

git push heroku master

heroku open

```

Alternatively, you can deploy your own copy of the app using the web-based flow:

## What's Happening

1. The [Node.js buildpack](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs) runs, installing the dependencies from `package.json`.

1. The [PHP buildpack](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php) runs, installing the dependencies from `composer.json`.

1. As part of the Composer install, it also runs the custom [`compile` script](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/php-support#custom-compile-step) from `composer.json`.  

The Node.js binaries are still available at this point so we can then run the Node.js build while having access to any composer dependencies that might need to be re-organised as part of the build step.
