Activates/Deactivates the app running on the PaaS Heroku in one go.

Installation

  1. HerokuSwitch is working with the official Heroku CLI, install it: npm i -g heroku
  2. Then install HerokuSwitch using NPM: npm i herokuswitch --save
  3. Go to the app's folder in node_modules and open herokuswitch.js
  4. Configure the following object:
// CONFIGURATION (must edit)
const cfg = {
    app: '', // insert your app's name here (Ex. 'myApp')
    resource: '' // choose your process resource type ('Worker' or 'web' )
}
