Quickly create best-practice Node.js apps for Heroku

$ heroku plugins:install heroku-cli-node
$ heroku node:generate myapp

Why?

A solid node app still takes a lot of boilerplate:

package.json, configured for an app instead of a module
.env to inject environment variables locally
yarn.lock to lock your dependencies
readme.md to describe what the app does
.gitignore so you can keep node modules out of git
app.json to support Pipelines, Review Apps, CI, and the 'Deploy to Heroku' Button
at least one file in /bin to provide an executable for your app
a standard linter to keep you on track
a mechanism for identifying security vulnerabilities
automated testing
and finally a Procfile to list your app's process types

...and I like to build solid apps, but I'm also lazy.
