Heroku API Template

Documentation Team Chat MIT License Swift 4.2

Using the template

  1. Clone the template

    # You can use either the Vapor Toolbox, or just git clone directly.

$ vapor new YourApp --template=vzsg/heroku-vapor-template

# Or:

$ git clone https://github.com/vzsg/heroku-vapor-template YourApp
$ cd YourApp
$ rm -rf .git           # detach folder from template repo
$ git init              # start new Git repo
# Optional:  edit Package.swift - change "VaporApp" to whatever you like

  2. Create a Heroku application

    # Append --region=eu if you want to use the EU region
$ heroku apps:create your-heroku-app-name

  3. Set up buildpack

    $ heroku buildpacks:set vapor/vapor

  4. Add a free database

    $ heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev

  5. Commit and push

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ git push heroku master

  6. Test if it's working

    $ heroku open

Changes from the original api-template

  • PostgreSQL is used instead of SQLite, which is configured with the DATABASE_URL environment variable if provided. The configuration is compatible with both the free and paid plans of Heroku Postgres.
  • The provided Procfile ensures that all required command line parameters are passed to the app.
  • The HSTSMiddleware automatically redirects HTTP calls to their HTTPS equivalents.
