babel-node is not getting installed on Heroku

问题

I'm using babel-node for ES6 syntax on Heroku, but I get a build error when I deploy. It says "babel-node: not found". I've tried a clean install on my local computer and it works perfectly. Package.json:

{
  "name": "secret",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "./node_modules/.bin/babel-node ./bin/www"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": "7.5.0",
    "npm": "5.0.3"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "babel-cli": "^6.24.1",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1",
    "babel-preset-stage-0": "^6.24.1",
    ...
  }
}

I appreciate your help! :)

A little bit late, but here is what I think you are missing:

Step (1): npm install --save babel-cli babel-preset-env in terminal

Note on step 1: Do not save to dev as that will require you to set NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false

Step (2): You are not compiling anything to babel without adding in the babel boilerplate and or using a babelrc file. Easiest method is to make a .babelrc file in your main app folder, ie. same one your package.json is in and input the following:

 {
  "presets": ["env"]
}

Note on step 2: With the usage of the env preset you do not need the babel-preset-es2015, etc

Step (3): You can now run your code using babel-node, so in your case execute your start script, ie. ./node_modules/.bin/babel-node ./bin/www

I suggest reading through the NPM module if you need further guidance understanding the preset logic: https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-preset-env

Furthermore, I would suggest using a process manager like pm2. This allows your node instance to keep alive if it crashes. The forever module used to do this but pm2 is way better. Here is an example of a start script inside your package.json:

"scripts": { "start": "node ./node_modules/.bin/pm2 start main.json --attach --env production" }

Procfile (note, I am using nginx but just npm start would work fine):

web: bin/start-nginx npm start 
worker: node ./node_modules/.bin/pm2 start worker.json --attach

And here would be your main.json with args to use babel-node (note, keep instance to 1 and do not fork on a web dyno in Heroku):

main.json:

{
  "name": "the_awesome",
  "script": "app.js",
  "instances": 1,
  "exec_mode": "cluster"
}

worker.json:

{
  "name": "worker",
  "script": "/app/lib/worker.js"
}

(4) Add a require('babel-register') hook to your app.js and worker.js if you are using pm2 in cluster mode. If you are using pm2 not in cluster mode, or just not using pm2 then you can use babel-node directly to run your .js or es6 files

Finally, to check if babel-node is really installed you can do the following:

 heroku run bash -a {name of your app}
 ls ./node_modules/.bin //babel-node should be present

Good luck!
