How to make your node server live using heroku.

First thing is initialize new git repository to your project using command

cmd:- git init 
you can see: Initialized empty Git repository in E:/blogger/JobPreparation/PracticalProject/Server/.git/

Now time to add .Gitignore file to our project

create .gitignore file to our project root directory and add files name which you don't want to add in git


# dependencies
/node_modules

# misc
.env

NOTE:  Make sure you have added process.env.PORT || 3030 inside server

other wise it will cause problem in future.

Now add all files to git using command 

cmd: git add .

and you can check status using command 

cmd: git status

Now commit all changes using command 

cmd: git commit -m "starter server with authentication"

make sure you have added start script to package.json file 

 "scripts": {

    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",

    "start": "node server.js"

  },

  "engines": {

    "node": "13.5.0" , // your node version : node -v

    "npm" : "6.13.4" // your npm version: npm -v

  },

again add it to git and commit changes 

Now install heroku on device using command

npm i -g heroku

and then write command 

For login

cmd: heroku login 

After that create new app using command 

cmd: heroku create 

Then deploye your server using 

cmd:  git push heroku master 

It will give you up and running server with it's URL.

You can also check log using

cmd: heroku logs
