webpack & webpack-dev-server 不通过命令，如何使用nodejs函数调用方式启动？

Question

webpack & webpack-dev-server 往往都是通过全局安装，绑定命令启动的。

能否通过安装到本地的webpack，webpack-dev-server模块，使用nodejs函数调用方式启动？

Answer 1

参考官方文档:
https://webpack.github.io/docs/usage-with-gulp.html

gulp.task("webpack-dev-server", function(callback) {
    // Start a webpack-dev-server
    var compiler = webpack({
        // configuration
    });

    new WebpackDevServer(compiler, {
        // server and middleware options
    }).listen(8080, "localhost", function(err) {
        if(err) throw new gutil.PluginError("webpack-dev-server", err);
        // Server listening
        gutil.log("[webpack-dev-server]", "http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/index.html");

        // keep the server alive or continue?
        // callback();
    });
});

var WebpackDevServer = require("webpack-dev-server");
var webpack = require("webpack");

var compiler = webpack({
  // configuration
});
var server = new WebpackDevServer(compiler, {
  // webpack-dev-server options

  contentBase: "/path/to/directory",
  // or: contentBase: "http://localhost/",

  hot: true,
  // Enable special support for Hot Module Replacement
  // Page is no longer updated, but a "webpackHotUpdate" message is send to the content
  // Use "webpack/hot/dev-server" as additional module in your entry point
  // Note: this does _not_ add the `HotModuleReplacementPlugin` like the CLI option does. 

  // Set this as true if you want to access dev server from arbitrary url.
  // This is handy if you are using a html5 router.
  historyApiFallback: false,

  // Set this if you want to enable gzip compression for assets
  compress: true,

  // Set this if you want webpack-dev-server to delegate a single path to an arbitrary server.
  // Use "*" to proxy all paths to the specified server.
  // This is useful if you want to get rid of 'http://localhost:8080/' in script[src],
  // and has many other use cases (see https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/pull/127 ).
  proxy: {
    "*": "http://localhost:9090"
  },

  // pass [static options](http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#express.static) to inner express server
  staticOptions: {
  },

  // webpack-dev-middleware options
  quiet: false,
  noInfo: false,
  lazy: true,
  filename: "bundle.js",
  watchOptions: {
    aggregateTimeout: 300,
    poll: 1000
  },
  publicPath: "/assets/",
  headers: { "X-Custom-Header": "yes" },
  stats: { colors: true }
});
server.listen(8080, "localhost", function() {});
// server.close();
