Starter for NodeJS projects

This is a blank NodeJS (using express) project that will connect to any prismic.io repository. It uses the prismic.io JavaScript development kit, and provides a few helpers to integrate with express.

Getting started

Launch the starter project

(Assuming you've installed Node.js and npm)

Fork this repository, then clone your fork, and run this in your newly created directory:

npm install
node app

Your Node.js starter project is now up and running! By default, it will display some documentation to help you getting started with your Node.js project.

Configure the starter project

Edit the prismic-configuration.js file to get the application connected to the right repository:

exports.Configuration = {

  apiEndpoint: 'https://your-repo-name.prismic.io/api/v2',

  // -- Access token if the Master is not open
  // accessToken: 'xxxxxx',

  ...

You may have to restart your server.

Deploy your NodeJS application

An easy way to deploy your NodeJS application is to use Heroku. Just follow these few simple steps once you have successfully signed up and installed the Heroku toolbelt:

Create a Procfile file at your application root, to declare the server command:

web: node app.js

Create a new Heroku application

$ heroku create

Push your code to heroku:

$ git push heroku master

Ensure you have at least one node running:

$ heroku ps:scale web=1

You can now browse your application online:

$ heroku open

Get started with prismic.io

You can find out how to get started with prismic.io from our full Node.js documentation.
