Code

Old WEBPACK_SERVE usage in our config.

For Features; What is the motivation and/or use-case for the feature?

I try to migrate to this package from webpack-serve. We previously used process.env.WEBPACK_SERVE to see, if a project asks for a watch config or not. We'd like to keep a similar functionality without having every project to do add a process env on their own, before they call webpack-dev-serve. Maybe there could be a process.env.WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER flag.

FYI: This template says " Please note that we are NOT accepting FEATURE requests at this time." while in https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-serve it's said "Please use webpack-dev-server (he is in support and update mode again). Feel free to create a issue if some features are not implemented in webpack-dev-server."
