Node.js Language Pack

The Node.js Language Pack will run npm install on your app after setting up an appropriate environment of node, npm and SCons.

The node_modules directory will be cached between builds to allow for faster npm install time.

Usage

Add this language pack to your LANGUAGE_PACK_URL.

heroku config:add LANGUAGE_PACK_URL="http://github.com/heroku/language-pack-nodejs.git"

Vendored Libraries

The versions of node, npm and SCons used by the language pack are controlled by the constants NODE_VERSION, NPM_VERSION, and SCONS_VERSION in bin/compile

To use different versions of these tools, you can use the helper scripts support/package_node and support/package_npm. These support scripts will create binary tarballs that can be referenced by bin/compile.
