Minor Changes
Run as a plugin from the top-level
pluginsof a multi-configuration, serving every configuration from one server. (by @alexander-akait in #5765)Fix client progress modes, socket URL credentials, overlay and progress lifecycles, server startup error handling and local IP lookup; export
BaseServer. (by @alexander-akait in #5739)The browser client, the error overlay and both transports now come from webpack-dev-middleware, so this package has no client code of its own. Every option keeps its name and meaning,
allowedHostsand the origin checks still apply here, and this server's{ type }messages are still sent next to the middleware's, so React Refresh keeps working.client/index.js,client/socket.jsandclient/clients/WebSocketClient.jsstill resolve while the client's internal files are gone, and the console wording, the overlay and the progress indicator are now the middleware's.client.webSocketTransport: "sse"adds Server-Sent Events, a universal build now runs in Node without the client throwing, andsendMessage(),getClientEntry()andgetClientHotEntry()still work, a subclass's overrides included, but are deprecated. (by @alexander-akait in #5750)Patch Changes
Keep hot and live reload working after a cancelled "Leave site?" dialog. (by @alexander-akait in #5744)
Keep the overlay for a runtime error thrown while the page is still loading. (by @alexander-akait in #5745)
Validate the
HostandOriginheaders and enforce same-origin checks on WebSocket upgrade requests handled by proxies withws: true. This prevents cross-origin pages from connecting to proxied WebSocket services through the development server. (by @UlisesGascon incb1534a)Validate options with a precompiled schema to cut ~115ms from startup. (by @alexander-akait in #5746)
Validate Host and HTTP/2 authority headers independently of Origin protocol exceptions, including when
allowedHostsis"all". Handle malformed open-editor URLs with a controlled response and parse their query without relying on the Host header. (by @bjohansebas in #5771)v6.0.0Compare Source
Major Changes
Bump Express to v5. See the Express 5 migration guide for the full list of breaking changes. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)
Bump the
webpackpeer dependency range from^5.0.0to^5.101.0. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Drop support for Node.js < 22.15.0. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)
Convert the source to native ES modules. The package keeps
"type": "module"and now exposes both an ESM and a CommonJS build via theexportsfield: ESM consumersimportthe nativelib/, while CommonJS consumersrequire()a transpileddist/build — so the package works from both ESM and CommonJS, including environments whererequire(ESM)is not supported. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Remove CLI flags. Use the
servecommand fromwebpack-clitogether with a configuration file or the programmatic API instead. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Remove the
internalIPandinternalIPSyncstatic methods fromServer. Resolve the local IP yourself if you need it. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Remove the
bypassoption from proxy configuration. Use therouterorcontextoptions provided byhttp-proxy-middlewareinstead. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Remove SockJS support. The
webSocketServeroption no longer accepts"sockjs"; use the default"ws"transport instead. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Remove the
spdydependency. Use the built-innode:http2module via theserveroption for HTTP/2 support. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Update
http-proxy-middlewareto v4. See the http-proxy-middleware v3 release notes and v4 release notes for the full list of breaking changes. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Update
webpack-dev-middlewareto v8 and syncoriginalUrlfor middleware compatibility.server.middleware.getFilenameFromUrl()is now asynchronous and resolves to{ filename, extra: { stats, outputFileSystem } }. See the webpack-dev-middleware v8 release notes for details. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Minor Changes
Add plugin support.
webpack-dev-servercan now be used as a webpack plugin, integrating with the compiler lifecycle without explicitly passing a compiler, preventing multiple server starts on recompilation, ensuring clean shutdown, and supportingMultiCompilersetups with multiple independent plugin servers. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Enable the compression middleware for HTTP/2 connections. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)
Remove the
colorettedependency in favor of native ANSI styling. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Update
chokidarto v5 and extendwatchFiles.options.ignoredto support glob string patterns viatinyglobby. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Use
compiler.platformto determine the target environment instead of inspecting the resolvedtargetstring. Universal targets ("universal"or["web", "node"], wherecompiler.platform.universalistruesince webpack5.108.0) are treated as web targets so the client runtime is injected. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Use the WHATWG
URLAPI instead of the deprecatedurl.parse. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Patch Changes
Bump production dependencies, notably
opento v11 andp-retryto v8. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Reject cross-site requests to the internal
open-editorandinvalidateendpoints. They performed state-changing actions (opening a file in the editor, forcing a recompilation) on any GET request, so a page the developer visited could trigger them. They now require a same-origin request, validated viaSec-Fetch-Sitewith anOrigin/Hostfallback. (by @bjohansebas in #5691)Treat loopback aliases (
127.0.0.1,::1,localhost) as equivalent inisSameOriginso the WebSocket client does not reject valid same-origin connections. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Migrate the test suite from Jest to
node:testand set up the jsdom environment. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)Update
webpack-clito v7.0.2. (by @bjohansebas in #5674)v5.2.7Compare Source
Patch Changes
Validate the
HostandOriginheaders and enforce same-origin checks on WebSocket upgrade requests handled by proxies withws: true. This prevents cross-origin pages from connecting to proxied WebSocket services through the development server. (by @github-actions in #5766)Validate Host and HTTP/2 authority headers independently of Origin protocol exceptions, including when
allowedHostsis"all". Handle malformed open-editor URLs with a controlled response and parse their query without relying on the Host header. (by @bjohansebas in #5772)v5.2.6Compare Source
Patch Changes
fix: allow
undefinedas theServerconstructoroptionsargument again (by @bjohansebas in #5695)Restores accepting
undefined(defaulting it to{}) for theoptionsargument, so passing a webpack config's optional
devServerfield type-checks and works as before.Protect the built-in state-changing routes (
/webpack-dev-server/invalidateand/webpack-dev-server/open-editor) against cross-site request forgery. Requests are now checked withSec-Fetch-Site(falling back to anOrigin/Hostcomparison when it is absent), so a cross-site page can no longer trigger a rebuild or open a file in the editor. Same-origin requests, user-initiated navigations, and non-browser clients (e.g. curl) are unaffected. (by @bjohansebas in #5698)Handle malformed
HostandOriginheader values gracefully when validating requests. (by @bjohansebas in #5699)v5.2.5Compare Source
