Not able to deploy to heroku

[techyrajeev]

There is no postinstall script in package.json. Local npm run build is not pushing generated files from dist to heroku remote.

Hi there,

There is no Heroku implementation on this boilerplate, though you can do it by:

// Since postinstall will also run when you run npm install
// locally we make sure it only runs in production
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {

  // We basically just create a child process that will run
  // the production bundle command
  var child_process = require('child_process');
  return child_process.exec("webpack -p --config webpack.production.config.js", function (error, stdout, stderr) {
    console.log('stdout: ' + stdout);
    console.log('stderr: ' + stderr);
    if (error !== null) {
      console.log('exec error: ' + error);
    }
  });
}

You can run that with a postinstall script. The building of the files to dist actually happens on the Heroku server. Hope this helps :)
