I'm in the nightmare process of updating one of my older projects from Webpack 3 to 4 and it's introducing a whole chain of things that need fixing. The most annoying one thus far is definitely switching from webpack-dev-server to webpack-serve due to it's lack of an actual example. So with that in mind, how the heck do I use it?
Using Webpack 4.14.0 and Webpack-Serve 1.0.4.
My webpack.config.js had the following options for webpack-dev-server:
devServer: {
contentBase: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
historyApiFallback: true,
publicPath: '/dist/'
}
I don't see options for history or public paths just yet, so I suppose I only need the content config option.
So according to the docs I'm supposed to do:
serve({
content: path.join(__dirname, 'public')
});
But where do I put this? The Github README claims that the most commonly used is to put it webpack.config.js but that seems false because the example also does this:
const serve = require('webpack-serve');
const config = require('./webpack.config.js');
serve({ config });
Do I really import a config file into itself?
I'd appreciate an example. Thanks.
