GitHub - jjgonecrypto/django-coffee-stylus-heroku: starter django application to have django-pipeline deployed on heroku with coffee and stylus support

starter application to have django-pipeline running on heroku, precompiling coffee and stylus assets as needed.

##dependencies

• custom buildpack from https://github.com/jiaaro/heroku-buildpack-django

• django-pipeline for coffee and stylus support

##production (heroku) deploy

1. create the stack on heroku

    heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack git@github.com:jiaaro/heroku-buildpack-django.git
   

2. push to heroku

3. add /app/bin to your PATH in Heroku (all node deps including node will be symlinked here)

    heroku config:add PATH=bin:node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/app/bin
   

##how it works

the buildpack enables the npm_requirements.txt file where you enter all of your node dependencies.

on heroku push, all npm requirements are added and symlinked under /app/bin (eg. /app/bin/node, /app/bin/coffee, etc)

in settings_production.py simply override pipeline settings to point to these symlinks:

PIPELINE_COFFEE_SCRIPT_BINARY = '/app/bin/coffee'
PIPELINE_STYLUS_BINARY = '/app/bin/stylus'
