# PhoneGap App hosted on Heroku

> Template for hosting an app with connect-phonegap

## Preview

Open your [PhoneGap Developer App](http://app.phonegap.com) and connect to:

http://phonegap-app-heroku.herokuapp.com

## Running the Template Project

Start the local server:

    $ npm install

    $ npm start

Now connect to the IP address with your PhoneGap Developer App.

## Installing to an Existing Project

### 1. Copy Template Files

Copy the following files to your existing PhoneGap / Cordova project:

- `Procfile` used for deploying to Heroku

- `lib/` directory for running the server

- `package.json` for describing the server dependencies

The resulting project will look something like:

    my-app/

    |__ lib/

    |__ merges/

    |__ platforms/

    |__ plugins/

    |__ www/

    |__ Procfile

    |__ package.json

### 2. Create a Heroku Instance

    $ cd my-app/

    $ heroku apps:create my-heroku-app-name

    Creating my-heroku-app-name... done, stack is cedar

    http://my-heroku-app-name.heroku.com/ | [email protected]:my-heroku-app-name.git

### 3. Update Files

#### package.json

Update the following the keys:

- `name`

- `descriptions`

- `repository`

#### lib/

If you hate having a `lib/` directory, you can move the `lib/index.js` to any

location. Just remember to update the `start` key with the new location.

### 3. Deploy to Heroku

Install the npm dependencies:

    $ npm install

Test locally:

    $ npm start

Deploy to Heroku:

    $ git commit -am "My latest changes"

    $ git push heroku master
