Docz: Steps to deploy dist/ to heroku, please.

[ranand]

Question

Please describe the steps to deploy "dist" folder to heroku, if possible.

I have tried following resources such as:
https://github.com/mars/create-react-app-buildpack
https://blog.heroku.com/deploying-react-with-zero-configuration
https://hackernoon.com/deploying-any-react-app-to-heroku-1ee6db9b97d3

But, I have not been successful in getting the static site to be up and running yet. Any help is much appreciated.

static.json

{
  "root": ".docz/dist/",
  "clean_urls": true,
  "routes": {
    "/**": "index.html"
  }
}

Thanks much in advance!

@bryanberger - I did try it, but to no avail. is my static.json right?

Little backstory:

• The repo I'm trying to deploy to heroku, contains common components we use at work (so it is not an app by itself). docz is used for documentation purposes.

@ranand I didn't need clean-urls, also I build to dist/ not .docz/dist so, "root": "dist/"

[ranand]

ok @bryanberger - i will give it a try today. thanks!

[ranand]

closing this since @bryanberger's suggestion worked. thanks!

FWIW, I wrote a post about how to deploy to Heroku https://nopitown.com/deploy-your-docz-site-with-heroku/ . You can also deploy it in one-click https://github.com/nopito/docz-with-heroku
