With webpack 4 I get

DeprecationWarning: Tapable.plugin is deprecated. Use new API on .hooks instead

@gajus Do you maintain this plugin?

(Thanks for this awesome plugin btw.)

[alexander-akait]

@gajus Also if you don't have time to maintenance this, maybe we can migrate this to webpack-contrib?

[radut]

any news on WebPack v4 compatibility ?

[alexander-akait]

@radut you don't need this plugin anymore, https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-middleware#writetodisk

[tech4him1]

@evilebottnawi Is there a way to use the writeToDisk option directly through webpack-dev-server, or does the middleware need to be used directly?

[radut]

I need a simple solution to add to WDS, select which file pattern to always write on disk.. not to reinvent the wheel with new middleware :-?

[bebraw]

@tech4him1 See webpack-serve. It's a light alternative to WDS and you can set the flag there. After doing that, you don't need this plugin anymore.

[mrukas]

This plugin works perfectly fine with webpack 4.5.0. I also get the DeprecationWarning, but the plugin still does what it's intended to do.
