Update 12/18
Hello Readers! There’s a new option in town that’s far easier to use, smaller, faster, more flexible, and supports more options that webpack-dev-server users will recognize. It’s worth a look: webpack-plugin-serve
As of March 13, 2019, webpack-serve now acts as a CLI for webpack-plugin-serve, and enables non-intrusive use of the plugin in your configs via the command line. The article content that resided here previously covered a prior version of webpack-serve, which the webpack-contrib org attempted to nuke, unsuccessfully. Please see either of the linked packages above for more information.
