Not sure how to deploy

[Kcin1993]

Does "serve": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node index.ts" cmd can be work on the host like Heroku? The web server couldn't read the ts file.

The error log shown on Heroku is TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts" for /app/index.ts

Because I use the Shopify Cli first then check this repo's relative configuration to setup the typescript on my app, so I'm not sure that did I miss any part about typescript compile setting. Should we add the "postinstall": "tsc" to produce the index.js file? Something like this

"serve": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node index.js",
"postinstall": "tsc"

HI there.
Thank you for submitting issue.
As @Kcin1993 mentioned, Heroku cannot read .ts extension file. I'm trying to find the way to deploy the app to Heroku and I think it's required to compiled to .js and serve it.

Please wait a moment for fixing and finding the way of it.

(I always use this template with fly.io or gcp cloud run and works correctly. if you would like to use it soon, please considering to use these services)

Hey guys, i found a way. Just compile the ts to js.

In web/package.json add the following two commands:

"build": "tsc",

"serve": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node index.js"

Also you need to read the environment variables to shopify.ts like this:

apiSecretKey: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_SECRET, //Here your backend domain url hostName: "https://localhost:3000", apiKey: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_KEY,

If you run npm:serve dont forget to set your environement variables.

how do you deploy it to gcp cloud run? The Dockerfile with the package.json from this repo fails too:

TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts" for /app/index.ts

I did not work with gcp before , i am using railway.app which reads the dockerfile and builds and shipes a container.

Are you not using the dockerfile ?
