Webpack launch browser automatically

Question

Gulp + live reload serves up my content on localhost and (here\'s what I\'m after) launches the browser automatically at the server url whenever i run the gulp

Answer 1

Ive had success using BrowserSync with webpack.

In webpack.config.js I include this:

var options = {
    port: 9001,
    host: 'localhost',
    server: {
        baseDir: './public'
    },
    ui: {
        port: 9002
    },
    startPath: process.argv[3].substr(2),
}

var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
browserSync(['public/**/*.*'],options);
