This is a very basic sample app to get you started using Webpack 2, Express and is setup to deploy to Heroku.

Features:

• HMR
• SASS

Note: this does not use React, Angular, or any other front-end framework. Pick your own when you're ready.

• npm i
• npm start
• Visit http://localhost:3000/

First, you'll need a heroku account.

• In Heroku, create a new app.
• Add a new buildpack, select heroku/nodejs. This should set you up to automatically run npm install which is what you'll need to get up and running.
• Follow the instructions to link to your repository.
• git push heroku master - Assuming you've set everything up correctly, this will deploy your app, and run the postinstall script in package.json.

Thanks to christianalfoni for the excellent Webpack 1 tutorial and example repo. I got started there and then built this one once I realized I wanted to play with Webpack v2.

The Heroku part of this is really easy to change for your own build process. Dig into the npm scripts, and take a look at the production webpack config.
