Add Node.js to environment #11

Closed nubs closed 10 years ago

nubs commented 10 years ago

One of the most popular heroku buildpacks, CHH/heroku-buildpack-php has included node.js support for a while. Having node.js available for php is becoming increasingly popular due to things like bower, UglifyJS, and other common build tools.

I would like to try out this buildpack, but not having node.js available means I can't do so with many of my current projects, and I doubt I'm the only one.

This definitely would increase the scope of the buildpack but I imagine it would help drive usage as well.

You can make it available with https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi

How did I ever miss that - that looks real useful. Thanks for pointing that one out.

Yeah, I don't think we should include node.js directly. If you figure out how to do the multi buildpack, please make a wiki page explaining it so someone else doesn't have to re-learn.

will do - and I'll link it to this issue.
