Watch usage with server startup #30

I'm really interested in using this package for bundling our client/server scripts in parallel, however, I am struggling with how to go about orchestrating running the builds, with watch enabled, and starting our server.

ex. Webpack Bundles -> Server Startup -> Watcher Start

Do you have any thoughts on this topic?

Sorry, I think I'm missing a bit of context to answer that. Do you intend to do that as part of a gulp file, an express middleware or something similar?

I had success with nodemon-webpack-plugin and all the latest typescript, parallel-webpack, webpack 3. have you tried that? Once that works for webpack --watch it should automatically work for parallel-webpack --watch.
