1. Preparing Vue.js app for Production:
In your Vue.js project directory:
npm run build
This will create a dist
folder with the production-ready build.
2. Deploying Node.js apps:
Heroku:
- Create a
Procfile
in the root of your project with the following content:
web: node yourServerFile.js
- Set up and login to Heroku CLI.
- Run:
git init
heroku git:remote -a your-app-name-on-heroku
git add .
git commit -m "Deploy"
git push heroku master
Vercel:
Vercel mainly suits frontend apps or serverless functions. For a Node.js backend like yours, Heroku, DigitalOcean, or AWS EC2 might be more suitable.
Note: Deployment involves a lot of steps and specifics depending on your app’s requirements, such as environment variables, database setups, etc. The above steps are basic instructions. Ensure you’ve set up everything securely, especially when deploying to production.
