Get Deployd running on Heroku!

Procfile

web: node server

server.js

// require deployd
var deployd = require('deployd');

// configure database etc. 
var server = deployd({
  port: process.env.PORT || 5000,
  env: 'production',
  db: {
    host: 'something.mongolab.com',
    port: 27857,
    name: 'database_name',
    credentials: {
      username: 'username',
      password: 'password'
    }
  }
});

// heroku requires these settings for sockets to work
server.sockets.manager.settings.transports = ["xhr-polling"];

// start the server
server.listen();

// debug
server.on('listening', function() {
  console.log("Server is listening on port: " + process.env.PORT);
});

// Deployd requires this
server.on('error', function(err) {
  console.error(err);
  process.nextTick(function() { // Give the server a chance to return an error
    process.exit();
  });
});

I created a demo to use Deployd on Heroku with the deploy button:
https://github.com/NicolasRitouet/deployd-heroku-demo
It doesn't work with the key yet.
The resources folder is not needed anymore, if Deployd doesn't find it, it will create it.
I haven't tested everything, but the basic features seems to work.

TY @NicolasRitouet

Not able to run the server. How can I access my apis and dashboard?

If I understand this correctly the following may not work in socket.io 1.0 and later...

` server.sockets.manager.settings.transports = ["xhr-polling"];`

In any case that line throws an error for me: Cannot read property 'settings' of undefined.

The socket.io docs say to do this...

var socket = require('socket.io')({
  // options go here
});

But I'm not clear how to apply that approach in a script like the one above.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

UPDATE:
Got it working by replacing line 20 with...

server.sockets.server.set('transports', ["xhr-polling"]);

These were also suggested in a stackoverflow answer, but I haven't tried them yet...

var server = deployd({
    socketIo: {
        options: { transports : ['xhr-polling'] }
    }
});

or

server.sockets.server.eio.transports = ['xhr-polling'];

got this working just now (4/22/18) using the following server.js:

var deployd = require('deployd');

// configure database etc.
var server = deployd({
  port: process.env.PORT || 5000,
  env: 'production',
  db: {
    connectionString: "mongodb://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<password>/<db name>"
  }
});

server.sockets.server.set('transports', ['xhr-polling']);

// start the server
server.listen();

// debug
server.on('listening', function() {
  console.log("Server is listening on port: " + process.env.PORT);
});

// Deployd requires this
server.on('error', function(err) {
  console.error(err);
  process.nextTick(function() { // Give the server a chance to return an error
    process.exit();
  });
});```

Also seemed to work without using the "server.sockets.server.set" line - unsure if that's truly needed or not, but kept it in anyways.
