Nestia-webpack-server NPM

nestia-webpack-server

An fast development middleware for use with webpack bundles and allows for serving of the files emitted from webpack. This should be used for development only.

Different from webpack-dev-middleware and webpack-dev-server:

Only lazy mode supported.
Different from webpack-dev-server, nestia-webpack-server supports multi-entries rather than only one entry file.
Different from webpack-dev-middleware (in lazy mode), nestia-webpack-server re-compiles only requested entry(contains requested file) rather than the whole project.
Different from webpack-dev-middleware (in lazy mode), nestia-webpack-server re-compiles only when dependency file(s) of requested entry(contains requested file) changed.

Getting Started

First thing's first, install the module:

npm install nestia-webpack-server --save-dev

Note: We do not recommend installing this module globally.

Requirements

webpack-dev-middleware requires Node v6 or higher, and must be used with a server that accepts express-style middleware.

Usage

const FastServer = require('nestia-webpack-server');

const parameter = require('./webpack.config.js');
let fastServer = new FastServer({
    parameterFactory: function () {
                return require('./webpack.config.js');
            },
    entryDir: path.resolve('./expose'),
    srcDir: path.resolve('./src'),
    buildDir: path.resolve('./build'),
    host: '0.0.0.0',
    port: '8080',
}, parameter);

fastServer.on('READY',()=>{
    console.log('Server is ready');
});
