Use webpack with a development server that provides live reloading. This should be used for development only.
It uses webpack-dev-middleware under the hood, which provides fast in-memory access to the webpack assets.
Note: There are known issues with Node.js v7 and webpack / webpack-dev-server. Please use Node.js v6 for the moment.
npm install webpack-dev-server --save-dev
The easiest way to use it is with the CLI. In the directory where your webpack.config.js is, run:
node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server
This will start a server, listening on connections from localhost on port 8080.
Now, when you change something in your assets, it should live-reload the files.
See the documentation for more use cases and options.
