Webpack-dev-server serves a directory list instead of the app page

enter image description here

I can only see the actual app under /public.

The configs in webpack.config.js are below:

var path    = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');


module.exports = {


entry: [
'webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8080',
'webpack/hot/only-dev-server',
'./app/js/App.js'
],


output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
filename: 'bundle.js',
publicPath: 'http://localhost:8080'
},


module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel-loader'],
exclude: /node_modules/
}
]
},


plugins: [
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin()
]


};

The project hierarchy is:

    • js
  • node_modules

  • public

    • css

    • img

    bundle.js

    index.html

  • package.json

  • webpack.config.js

How can I modify to make sure the http://localhost:8080/ entry is for the application per se?

If you're using webpack's dev server you can pass in options to use /public as a base directory.

devServer: {
publicPath: "/",
contentBase: "./public",
hot: true
},

See the webpack configuration docs, and specifically the webpack dev server docs for more options and general information.

You can also add the --content-base flag to your start-up script, e.g.

    "scripts": {
"start:dev": "webpack-dev-server --inline --content-base ./public"
}

In my case, I misspelled 'index.html' when I set up the HTMLWebpackPlugin. Double check your filenames if you're using this plugin.

var HTMLWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var HTMLWebpackPluginConfig = new HTMLWebpackPlugin({
template: __dirname + '/app/index.html',
filename: 'index.html',
inject: 'body'
});

I had accidently removed index.html and then I got only the directory list.
