How to run a specific javascript file on Heroku server?

Question

I have a javascript file that I use in Nodejs to populate my database with fake data. So in my project folder I do:

node fakedata.js

which populates my database with fake data. I deployed my website to heroku and I want to be able to run the same javacript in my heroku database. Is there a way to run javascript file like this on the heroku server?

This turned out to be pretty simple:

heroku run node populateData.js
