Support for custom webpackDevMiddleware options? about storybook HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes. Sure. I'm open to that.

Let's do like this.

• We support another config file called webpack.devoptions.json (or whatever the name works best)
• We can add additional config inside that.
• Then let's use it here with these default options: https://github.com/kadirahq/react-storybook/blob/master/src/server/index.js#L45

That's how I like to do it. But, I am open to suggestions.

Here is another reason why this would be good. I would like to use React Storybook to test Redux containers which make API requests to my backend. I think there's room for a middle ground between developing the full-fledged app (which wouldn't use Storybook) and developing pure UI components (which wouldn't make API requests). For example, I have a search result container that I want to develop in isolation.

If we have webpack.devoptions.json, I can add a custom host and https to the middleware config.

@awright415 what OS are you on?

I'm also trying to run Storybook inside of Docker (on Windows)

I tried adding

  watchOptions: {
    poll: 1000,
  },

to my webpack config and I see a bundle rebuilding, but after that nothing in Storybook actually updates.

This is supported now:
