Node.js Yarn Cloud Native Buildpack

This buildpack builds on top of the existing Node.js Engine Cloud Native Buildpack. It runs subsequent scripts after Node is install.

  • Run automatically
    • yarn install
  • Run when configured in package.json
    • yarn build or yarn heroku-postbuild

Usage

Install pack

Using brew (assuming development is done on MacOS), install pack.

brew tap buildpack/tap
brew install pack

If you're using Windows or Linux, follow instructions here.

Clone the buildpack

Right now, we are prototyping with a local version of the buildpack. Clone it to your machine.

git clone git@github.com:heroku/nodejs-yarn-buildpack.git

Clone the Heroku Node.js Engine Cloud Native Buildpack.

cd .. # change from nodejs-npm-buildpack directory
git clone git@github.com:heroku/nodejs-engine-buildpack.git

Build the image

with buildpacks

Using pack, you're ready to create an image from the buildpack and source code. You will need to add flags that point to the path of the source code (--path) and the paths of the buildpacks (--buildpack).

cd nodejs-yarn-buildpack
pack build TEST_IMAGE_NAME --path ../TEST_REPO_PATH --buildpack ../nodejs-engine-buildpack --buildpack ../nodejs-yarn-buildpack

with a builder

You can also create a builder.toml file that will have explicit directions when creating a buildpack. This is useful when there are multiple "detect" paths a build can take (ie. yarn vs. npm commands).

In a directory outside of this buildpack, create a builder file:

cd ..
mkdir heroku_nodejs_builder
touch heroku_nodejs_builder/builder.toml

For local development, you'll want the file to look like this:

[[buildpacks]]
  id = "heroku/nodejs-engine-buildpack"
  uri = "../nodejs-engine-buildpack"

[[buildpacks]]
  id = "heroku/nodejs-yarn-buildpack"
  uri = "../nodejs-yarn-buildpack"

[[order]]
  group = [
    { id = "heroku/nodejs-engine-buildpack", version = "0.0.1" },
    { id = "heroku/nodejs-yarn-buildpack", version = "0.0.1" }
  ]

[stack]
  id = "heroku-18"
  build-image = "heroku/pack:18"
  run-image = "heroku/pack:18"

Create the builder with pack:

pack create-builder nodejs --builder-config ../heroku-nodejs-builder/builder.toml

Now you can use the builder image instead of chaining the buildpacks.

pack build TEST_IMAGE_NAME --path ../TEST_REPO_PATH --builder nodejs

  • buildpacks: provide framework and a runtime for source code. Read more here.
  • OCI image: OCI (Open Container Initiative) is a project to create open sourced standards for OS-level virtualization, most importantly in Linux containers.
