Webpack DevServer do not reload page

Question

I am using webpack devServer. Every time I change my source files the files get built and the page served by devServer gets reloaded. I do not want devServer to reload the page. I want the devServer to only build and serve files while I reload the page manually.

Here is my webpack configuration for DevServer.

devServer: {
    contentBase: './dist',
    port: 8002,
    watchContentBase: false,
  },

I tried setting hot: false and hotOnly: false but the devServer still builds and reloads the webpage every time the source file changes.

Answer 1

There is two options: devServer.injectClient and devServer.injectHot . Try to set it to false. No WDS client on a board - no problem. Depends on CLI, check that no HotModuleReplacementPlugin attached.
