Express : Custom node_module on Heroku

Question

I'm using the Poet module in an Express app. Poet don't support Expresss 4 yet, but a patch exist, a change in the module code.

I applied that patch, and my app is working locally.

But Heroku load the original version of the package, without patch.

After reading this question, I run

heroku run bash
cat my-file

It confirmed that heroku is working with the wrong version of the module.

How can I apply the change to my heroku app ?

Answer 1

Create your npm own module, at some github repo, with the path, and use:

 npm install --from-git git@server:project

I gues this way it should work :3
