Neutrino Dev Server Middleware

@neutrinojs/dev-server is Neutrino middleware for starting a webpack Dev Server for fast development cycles.

Requirements

• Node.js 10+
• Yarn v1.2.1+, or npm v5.4+
• Neutrino 9
• webpack 4
• webpack-dev-server 3

Installation

@neutrinojs/dev-server can be installed via the Yarn or npm clients.

Yarn

❯ yarn add --dev @neutrinojs/dev-server

npm

❯ npm install --save-dev @neutrinojs/dev-server

Usage

@neutrinojs/dev-server can be consumed from the Neutrino API, middleware, or presets. Require this package and plug it into Neutrino:

const devServer = require('@neutrinojs/dev-server');

// Usage with default options
neutrino.use(devServer());

// Usage with custom options (default options are shown)
neutrino.use(
  devServer({
    port: 5000,
    hot: true,
    // Redirect 404s to index.html, so that apps that use the HTML 5 History API work.
    historyApiFallback: true,
    // Only display compile duration and errors/warnings, to reduce noise when rebuilding.
    stats: {
      all: false,
      errors: true,
      timings: true,
      warnings: true,
    },
  }),
);

// Using in .neutrinorc.js
const devServer = require('@neutrinojs/dev-server');

// Usage with default options
module.exports = {
  use: [devServer()],
};

// Usage with custom options (default options are shown)
module.exports = {
  use: [
    devServer({
      port: 5000,
      hot: true,
      // Redirect 404s to index.html, so that apps that use the HTML 5 History API work.
      historyApiFallback: true,
      // Only display compile duration and errors/warnings, to reduce noise when rebuilding.
      stats: {
        all: false,
        errors: true,
        timings: true,
        warnings: true,
      },
    }),
  ],
};

By default this middleware will start a development server with Hot Module Replacement support on http://localhost:5000. To enable HMR with your application, read the documentation of corresponding Neutrino preset or middleware.

Middleware options

@neutrinojs/dev-server optionally accepts an object with several options to override the default behavior. This object, as seen used above, can accept any property that is accepted by webpack Dev Server.
