A stand-alone development server for webpack, based on the awesomeness that is koa.js.

• Automatic injection of livereload code
• Hot reload of CSS files, full page reload for JS
• Acts as a proxy for your content server

$ npm install koa-webpack-dev-server

// Include necessary deps
var webpack = require('webpack');
var DevServer = require('koa-webpack-dev-server');

// Load our webpack config
var webpackConfig = require('./webpack.config.js');

// Modify some webpack config options for development
var devConfig = Object.create(webpackConfig);
devConfig.devtool = 'sourcemap';
devConfig.debug = true;

// This should point to the server that has the content
var contentBase = 'http://localhost:3000/';

// Create a compiler based on our dev config
var compiler = webpack(devConfig);

// Create a development server instance
var devServer = new DevServer(compiler, {
    contentBase: contentBase
});

// Start listening!
devServer.listen(8080, 'localhost', function () {
    debug('Listening to 8080');
});

Go to `http://localhost:8080/' and you should see your site.

Clone the repo and run:

$ npm install
$ gulp
