Use webpack-dev-middleware

[adam-beck]

Closes #65

[bradleyboy]

@adam-beck FYI - I walked through this and it works as expected, but webpack-hot-middleware needs to be added to package.json.

[adam-beck]

Hmm not sure how I missed that. I made the changes but don't know if I used the correct workflow to get these into Github. There are 2 commits with the same message now.

Hey @adam-beck,

Any chance you'd port this to version 3 as well? I'm clueless about what what to include into webpack.config's entry array.

[bradleyboy]

@pkese I'm using this on v3, here's the entry:

entry: [
  'react-hot-loader/patch',
  'webpack-hot-middleware/client',
  './src/index'
],

Hello @bradleyboy

I've tried do like you wrote above but I receive error "[HMR] Hot Module Replacement is disabled." And nothing renders. I've checked bundle path, it can be resolved from index.html.

I've created repo with my non working code. If you have a chance to look at it, please help :)

Thanks!

@iamyardem Nothing stands out to me, but your repo has changed quite a bit from the default. Here's a branch of v3 with middleware for reference: https://github.com/gaearon/react-hot-boilerplate/pull/72

I'd vote in favor of not using the middleware over the dev-server. This PR adds a lot of green lines to the diff, but what does it do to better demonstrate hot-reloading?
