webpack-rails + Heroku

webpack_rails_heroku_notes.md

• webpack-rails https://github.com/mipearson/webpack-rails
• Procfile from webpack-rails can be renamed to Procfile.dev to not conflict with Heroku, then run in dev with foreman start -f Procfile.dev
  • for convenience: bin/dev (chmod +x): foreman start -f Procfile.dev
• custom buildpack to include webpack:compile step https://github.com/patbenatar/heroku-buildpack-webpack
• disable webpack-dev-server in non-dev environments: config.webpack.dev_server.enabled = false
