webpack-serve

A CLI for webpack-plugin-serve - A Webpack development server in a plugin.

(While using a CLI such as webpack-serve is convenient, we recommend using webpack-plugin-serve directly in your webpack config, with webpack-nano, instead.)

Please consider donating if you find this project useful.

Requirements

webpack-serve is an evergreen 🌲 module.

This module requires an Active LTS Node version (v8.0.0+ or v10.0.0+). The client scripts in this module require browsers which support async/await. Users may also choose to compile the client script via an appropriately configured Babel webpack loader for use in older browsers.

Feature Parity

Since this CLI leverages webpack-plugin-serve, the same feature parity information applies. Please see the webpack-plugin-serve Feature Comparison for more information.

Install

Using npm:

 npm install webpack-serve --save-dev

Flags

Please reference the webpack-plugin-serve Options for information and use. Most options are analogous to the flags listed above.

--no-watch

By default, the CLI will apply watch: true to the first config in the targeted webpack config file. To customize watching or watchOptions, please use this flag and customize the config(s) accordingly.

package.json Options

For convenience, webpack-plugin-serve options can also be defined in a package.json file. This CLI will look for a serve key in the nearest package.json beginning in the directory containing the specified webpack.config.js, up to the current working directory. Please reference the webpack-plugin-serve Options for information and use.

For Example:

 {
	"name": "some-package",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	"serve": {
    "host": "10.10.10.1"
  }
}

Advanced Options

For options which require providing functions or complex objects like Promises which cannot be represented by JSON, nor on the command line, please use webpack-plugin-serve directly in your webpack config, along with webpack-nano.
