- - -

### Why?

- Remove your dependency on `nodemon`, `forever`, `pm2`, or similar.

- This works better from a "cold start" when your server hasn't been built yet.

- Fewer issues with websockets & hot-module reloading.

### Installation

```shell

$ npm install --save-dev reload-server-webpack-plugin

```

### Usage

Update your `webpack.config.js`:

```js

module.exports = {

  ...

  plugins: [

    new ReloadServerPlugin({

      // Defaults to process.cwd() + "/server.js"

      script: "path/to/server.js",

    }),

  ],

  ...

};

```
