THIS SERVER SHOULD ONLY USED FOR DEVELOPMENT!

DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION!

It's a little server using webpack-dev-middleware to serve a webpack app.

It also uses socket.io to update the browser if the bundle has changed (and to display compilation errors).

You need to pass webpack's options, and you can also pass a html page to display and webpack options.

This project is heavily inspirated by peerigon/nof5.

Like webpack, but you omit the output filename.

Additional options:

--port <number> Change the port (default: 8080)

--content-base Serve HTML content from this directory or URL (default: current directory)

--noinfo Less console output

--quiet No console output

var Server = require("webpack-dev-server");
var options = {
	contentBase: __dirname + "/directory",
	// A directory, file or URL
	// It will be served as content

	hot: true,
	// Enable special support for Hot Module Replacement
	// Page is no longer updated, but a "webpackHotUpdate" message is send to the content

	// ...
	// webpack-dev-middleware options
	// you can use all options of the middleware
};
new Server(webpack(/*... webpack options ...*/), options).listen(port[, host]);

The client scripts are build with npm run-script prepublish.
