Heroku Buildpack for V

This buildpack installs the most recent commit of V from https://github.com/vlang/v.

This repo is forked from https://github.com/louis77/heroku-buildpack-v

Installation

Create a Heroku app with this buildpack

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/zztkm/heroku-buildpack-v.git

Set the buildpack for an existing Heroku app

$ heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/zztkm/heroku-buildpack-v.git

Getting started

To deploy a V app, your repo should contain at minimum these files:

app.v
vpm.txt

app.v will be compiled and run on deploy.

vpm.txtis a list of VPM modules that will be installed using v install ... before your app is compiled. List one module per line and terminate with a new line:

nedpals.jsonrpc
nedpals.args

You can omit vpm.txt, no packages will be installed then.

Find available VPM modules in the VPM modules directory.

remote.txt is a list of remote git repo urls and their module name that will be installed using git clone remote_url ~/repo_author_name/module_name and ln -s ~/repo_author_name ~/.vmodules/ before your app is compiled. List one repo and module name per line separated by a space and terminate with a new line:

https://www.github.com/username/repo_name.git repo_author_name module_name
https://some_other_url/username/another_repo.git repo_author_name module_name_too

creates the following directories:

~/.vmodules/repo_author_name/module_name
~/.vmodules/repo_author_name/module_name_too

You can omit remote.txt, no repos will be cloned then.

Procfile

If there is no Procfile in the base directory of the code being built, then a default Procfile is created that that looks like this:

web: ./app
