How to copy files on change via webpack?

Question

JavaScript

Used Gulp before...
Can't figure out how it's done in webpack
I want webpack to track the changes and throw the changed files into the build folder when changing files in my src source folder.
How is this done in webpack? I can't quite understand...

Answer 1

The CopyWebpackPlugin does the copying . As far as I know, webpack is not a program that constantly runs and monitors file changes. Simply put, WebPack always rebuilds everything.
If we talk about JavaScript, then there is HMR (hot module replacement) which replaces the changed modules on the client. Maybe this is what you need?
