Webpack development server

The Webpack development server is a command-line utility that monitors our filesystem for changes and triggers the Webpack bundling process.

We can install the Webpack development server using npm:

    npm install -g webpack-dev-server  

We can then execute the webpack development server using the following command:

    webpack-dev-server  

The Webpack development server will then start watching our filesystem for changes. If a change is detected, it will automatically run the Webpack build process using the existing the webpack.config.js file.

The Webpack development server also starts a web server. The server is running on port 8080 by default.
