# heroku\_app

Provides a Heroku App resource. This can be used to
create and manage applications on Heroku.

## Example Usage

```hcl
# Create a new Heroku app
resource "heroku_app" "default" {
  name   = "my-cool-app"
  region = "us"

  config_vars {
    FOOBAR = "baz"
  }

  buildpacks = [
    "heroku/go"
  ]
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

* `name` - (Required) The name of the application. In Heroku, this is also the
   unique ID, so it must be unique and have a minimum of 3 characters.
* `region` - (Required) The region that the app should be deployed in.
* `stack` - (Optional) The application stack is what platform to run the application
   in.
* `buildpacks` - (Optional) Buildpack names or URLs for the application.
     Buildpacks configured externally won't be altered if this is not present.
* `config_vars` - (Optional) Configuration variables for the application.
     The config variables in this map are not the final set of configuration
     variables, but rather variables you want present. That is, other
     configuration variables set externally won't be removed by Terraform
     if they aren't present in this list.
* `space` - (Optional) The name of a private space to create the app in.
* `organization` - (Optional) A block that can be specified once to define
     organization settings for this app. The fields for this block are
     documented below.

The `organization` block supports:

* `name` (string) - The name of the organization.
* `locked` (boolean)
* `personal` (boolean)
