Webpack launch browser automatically
To launch the browser, one can add --open
to CLI command as the accepted answer points it out
npm start --open
or
ng serve --open
To avoid doing it all the time: there is a simple change to make in package.json
"scripts": {
"ng": "ng",
"start": "ng serve --open",
...
},
Emelet answer is not false at all, however it won't work in Windows. I do this with:
"scripts": {
"start": "start http://localhost:8000/ & webpack-dev-server"
}
100% working and you don't have to install any module or plugin.
For those using Node.js (and npm): put the command in the npm start script:
MAC
"scripts": {
"start": "webpack-dev-server & open http://localhost:8080/"
}
WINDOWS
"scripts": {
"start": "start http://localhost:8000/ & webpack-dev-server"
}
Thanks to Enzo Ferey for pointing out that the command needs to look different when on Windows.
For webpack version 2.x, you just add --open
open to the CLI as documented here:
https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserver-open
Alternatively, add the following config to your webpack.config.js
:
devServer: {
open: true
}
