| # webpack-dev-middleware
 | |
| 
 | |
| An express-style development middleware for use with [webpack](https://webpack.js.org)
 | |
| bundles and allows for serving of the files emitted from webpack.
 | |
| This should be used for **development only**.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Some of the benefits of using this middleware include:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - No files are written to disk, rather it handles files in memory
 | |
| - If files changed in watch mode, the middleware delays requests until compiling
 | |
|   has completed.
 | |
| - Supports hot module reload (HMR).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Requirements
 | |
| 
 | |
| This module requires a minimum of Node v6.9.0 and Webpack v4.0.0, and must be used with a
 | |
| server that accepts express-style middleware.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Getting Started
 | |
| 
 | |
| First thing's first, install the module:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```console
 | |
| npm install webpack-dev-middleware --save-dev
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| _Note: We do not recommend installing this module globally._
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Usage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const webpack = require('webpack');
 | |
| const middleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware');
 | |
| const compiler = webpack({
 | |
|   // webpack options
 | |
| });
 | |
| const express = require('express');
 | |
| const app = express();
 | |
| 
 | |
| app.use(
 | |
|   middleware(compiler, {
 | |
|     // webpack-dev-middleware options
 | |
|   })
 | |
| );
 | |
| 
 | |
| app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!'));
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Options
 | |
| 
 | |
| The middleware accepts an `options` Object. The following is a property reference
 | |
| for the Object.
 | |
| 
 | |
| _Note: The `publicPath` property is required, whereas all other options are optional_
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### methods
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Array`  
 | |
| Default: `[ 'GET', 'HEAD' ]`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This property allows a user to pass the list of HTTP request methods accepted by the server.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### headers
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Object`  
 | |
| Default: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This property allows a user to pass custom HTTP headers on each request. eg.
 | |
| `{ "X-Custom-Header": "yes" }`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### index
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `String`  
 | |
| Default: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| "index.html",
 | |
| // The index path for web server, defaults to "index.html".
 | |
| // If falsy (but not undefined), the server will not respond to requests to the root URL.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### lazy
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Boolean`  
 | |
| Default: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This option instructs the module to operate in 'lazy' mode, meaning that it won't
 | |
| recompile when files change, but rather on each request.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### logger
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Object`  
 | |
| Default: [`webpack-log`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-log/blob/master/index.js)
 | |
| 
 | |
| In the rare event that a user would like to provide a custom logging interface,
 | |
| this property allows the user to assign one. The module leverages
 | |
| [`webpack-log`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-log#readme)
 | |
| for creating the [`loglevelnext`](https://github.com/shellscape/loglevelnext#readme)
 | |
| logging management by default. Any custom logger must adhere to the same
 | |
| exports for compatibility. Specifically, all custom loggers must have the
 | |
| following exported methods at a minimum:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `log.trace`
 | |
| - `log.debug`
 | |
| - `log.info`
 | |
| - `log.warn`
 | |
| - `log.error`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Please see the documentation for `loglevel` for more information.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### logLevel
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `String`  
 | |
| Default: `'info'`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This property defines the level of messages that the module will log. Valid levels
 | |
| include:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `trace`
 | |
| - `debug`
 | |
| - `info`
 | |
| - `warn`
 | |
| - `error`
 | |
| - `silent`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Setting a log level means that all other levels below it will be visible in the
 | |
| console. Setting `logLevel: 'silent'` will hide all console output. The module
 | |
| leverages [`webpack-log`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-log#readme)
 | |
| for logging management, and more information can be found on its page.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### logTime
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Boolean`  
 | |
| Default: `false`
 | |
| 
 | |
| If `true` the log output of the module will be prefixed by a timestamp in the
 | |
| `HH:mm:ss` format.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### mimeTypes
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Object`  
 | |
| Default: `null`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This property allows a user to register custom mime types or extension mappings.
 | |
| eg. `mimeTypes: { 'text/html': [ 'phtml' ] }`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| By default node-mime will throw an error if you try to map a type to an extension
 | |
| that is already assigned to another type. Passing `force: true` will suppress this behavior
 | |
| (overriding any previous mapping).
 | |
| eg. `mimeTypes: { typeMap: { 'text/html': [ 'phtml' ] } }, force: true }`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Please see the documentation for
 | |
| [`node-mime`](https://github.com/broofa/node-mime#mimedefinetypemap-force--false) for more information.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### publicPath
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `String`  
 | |
| _Required_
 | |
| 
 | |
| The public path that the middleware is bound to. _Best Practice: use the same
 | |
| `publicPath` defined in your webpack config. For more information about
 | |
| `publicPath`, please see
 | |
| [the webpack documentation](https://webpack.js.org/guides/public-path)._
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### reporter
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Object`  
 | |
| Default: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Allows users to provide a custom reporter to handle logging within the module.
 | |
| Please see the [default reporter](/lib/reporter.js)
 | |
| for an example.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### serverSideRender
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Boolean`  
 | |
| Default: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Instructs the module to enable or disable the server-side rendering mode. Please
 | |
| see [Server-Side Rendering](#server-side-rendering) for more information.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### stats
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Object`  
 | |
| Default: `{ context: process.cwd() }`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Options for formatting statistics displayed during and after compile. For more
 | |
| information and property details, please see the
 | |
| [webpack documentation](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/stats/#stats).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### watchOptions
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Object`  
 | |
| Default: `{ aggregateTimeout: 200 }`
 | |
| 
 | |
| The module accepts an `Object` containing options for file watching, which is
 | |
| passed directly to the compiler provided. For more information on watch options
 | |
| please see the [webpack documentation](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/watch/#watchoptions)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### writeToDisk
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Boolean|Function`  
 | |
| Default: `false`
 | |
| 
 | |
| If `true`, the option will instruct the module to write files to the configured
 | |
| location on disk as specified in your `webpack` config file. _Setting
 | |
| `writeToDisk: true` won't change the behavior of the `webpack-dev-middleware`,
 | |
| and bundle files accessed through the browser will still be served from memory._
 | |
| This option provides the same capabilities as the
 | |
| [`WriteFilePlugin`](https://github.com/gajus/write-file-webpack-plugin/pulls).
 | |
| 
 | |
| This option also accepts a `Function` value, which can be used to filter which
 | |
| files are written to disk. The function follows the same premise as
 | |
| [`Array#filter`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter)
 | |
| in which a return value of `false` _will not_ write the file, and a return value
 | |
| of `true` _will_ write the file to disk. eg.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| {
 | |
|   writeToDisk: (filePath) => {
 | |
|     return /superman\.css$/.test(filePath);
 | |
|   };
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### fs
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Object`  
 | |
| Default: `MemoryFileSystem`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Set the default file system which will be used by webpack as primary destination of generated files. Default is set to webpack's default file system: [memory-fs](https://github.com/webpack/memory-fs). This option isn't affected by the [writeToDisk](#writeToDisk) option.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Note:** As of 3.5.x version of the middleware you have to provide `.join()` method to the `fs` instance manually. This can be done simply by using `path.join`:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| fs.join = path.join; // no need to bind
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## API
 | |
| 
 | |
| `webpack-dev-middleware` also provides convenience methods that can be use to
 | |
| interact with the middleware at runtime:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `close(callback)`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Instructs a webpack-dev-middleware instance to stop watching for file changes.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Parameters
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### callback
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Function`
 | |
| 
 | |
| A function executed once the middleware has stopped watching.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `invalidate()`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Instructs a webpack-dev-middleware instance to recompile the bundle.
 | |
| e.g. after a change to the configuration.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const webpack = require('webpack');
 | |
| const compiler = webpack({ ... });
 | |
| const middleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware');
 | |
| const instance = middleware(compiler);
 | |
| 
 | |
| app.use(instance);
 | |
| 
 | |
| setTimeout(() => {
 | |
|   // After a short delay the configuration is changed and a banner plugin is added
 | |
|   // to the config
 | |
|   compiler.apply(new webpack.BannerPlugin('A new banner'));
 | |
| 
 | |
|   // Recompile the bundle with the banner plugin:
 | |
|   instance.invalidate();
 | |
| }, 1000);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `waitUntilValid(callback)`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Executes a callback function when the compiler bundle is valid, typically after
 | |
| compilation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Parameters
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### callback
 | |
| 
 | |
| Type: `Function`
 | |
| 
 | |
| A function executed when the bundle becomes valid. If the bundle is
 | |
| valid at the time of calling, the callback is executed immediately.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const webpack = require('webpack');
 | |
| const compiler = webpack({ ... });
 | |
| const middleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware');
 | |
| const instance = middleware(compiler);
 | |
| 
 | |
| app.use(instance);
 | |
| 
 | |
| instance.waitUntilValid(() => {
 | |
|   console.log('Package is in a valid state');
 | |
| });
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Known Issues
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Multiple Successive Builds
 | |
| 
 | |
| Watching (by means of `lazy: false`) will frequently cause multiple compilations
 | |
| as the bundle changes during compilation. This is due in part to cross-platform
 | |
| differences in file watchers, so that webpack doesn't loose file changes when
 | |
| watched files change rapidly. If you run into this situation, please make use of
 | |
| the [`TimeFixPlugin`](https://github.com/egoist/time-fix-plugin).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Server-Side Rendering
 | |
| 
 | |
| _Note: this feature is experimental and may be removed or changed completely in the future._
 | |
| 
 | |
| In order to develop an app using server-side rendering, we need access to the
 | |
| [`stats`](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/node.js-api#stats), which is
 | |
| generated with each build.
 | |
| 
 | |
| With server-side rendering enabled, `webpack-dev-middleware` sets the `stat` to
 | |
| `res.locals.webpackStats` and the memory filesystem to `res.locals.fs` before invoking the next middleware, allowing a
 | |
| developer to render the page body and manage the response to clients.
 | |
| 
 | |
| _Note: Requests for bundle files will still be handled by
 | |
| `webpack-dev-middleware` and all requests will be pending until the build
 | |
| process is finished with server-side rendering enabled._
 | |
| 
 | |
| Example Implementation:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const webpack = require('webpack');
 | |
| const compiler = webpack({
 | |
|   // webpack options
 | |
| });
 | |
| const isObject = require('is-object');
 | |
| const middleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware');
 | |
| 
 | |
| // This function makes server rendering of asset references consistent with different webpack chunk/entry configurations
 | |
| function normalizeAssets(assets) {
 | |
|   if (isObject(assets)) {
 | |
|     return Object.values(assets);
 | |
|   }
 | |
| 
 | |
|   return Array.isArray(assets) ? assets : [assets];
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| app.use(middleware(compiler, { serverSideRender: true }));
 | |
| 
 | |
| // The following middleware would not be invoked until the latest build is finished.
 | |
| app.use((req, res) => {
 | |
|   const assetsByChunkName = res.locals.webpackStats.toJson().assetsByChunkName;
 | |
|   const fs = res.locals.fs;
 | |
|   const outputPath = res.locals.webpackStats.toJson().outputPath;
 | |
| 
 | |
|   // then use `assetsByChunkName` for server-sider rendering
 | |
|   // For example, if you have only one main chunk:
 | |
|   res.send(`
 | |
| <html>
 | |
|   <head>
 | |
|     <title>My App</title>
 | |
|     <style>
 | |
|     ${normalizeAssets(assetsByChunkName.main)
 | |
|       .filter((path) => path.endsWith('.css'))
 | |
|       .map((path) => fs.readFileSync(outputPath + '/' + path))
 | |
|       .join('\n')}
 | |
|     </style>
 | |
|   </head>
 | |
|   <body>
 | |
|     <div id="root"></div>
 | |
|     ${normalizeAssets(assetsByChunkName.main)
 | |
|       .filter((path) => path.endsWith('.js'))
 | |
|       .map((path) => `<script src="${path}"></script>`)
 | |
|       .join('\n')}
 | |
|   </body>
 | |
| </html>
 | |
|   `);
 | |
| });
 | |
| ```
 | |
|
