packup

Packup

Work in progress.

Options

• --port: Specify a server port (Default: any free port starting from 8080)
• --config: Use a configuration file

Configuration file

Through the --config option, a configuration file can be supplied. Currently only the entry key is supported to specify multiple entry files. For example:

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    app: './index',
    foo: './foo'
  }
}

Goals

Easy usage

No configuration needed.

• Provide a hot-reloading enabled development server without the boilerplate
• Provide a default set of webpack loaders
• Provide a default set of NPM packages (less is more)
• Always route all routes to the app, to enable HTML5 pushState routing

Advanced usage

Enable some or complete configuration.

• Allow extension of default webpack config
• Allow use of a completely separate webpack config
• Allow easy replacement through webpack itself

Global install (good for quick no-config experiments)

npm install packup -g
packup main.js

Local install (good for serious projects)

npm install packup --save-dev
node_modules/.bin/packup main.js
