Guides - Using Middleware w/ Express, Koa, Hapi

[TheLarkInn]

After speaking with @pdjota at ngVikings, it turns out we don't have any documentation for using webpack-dev-middleware with express.

@SpaceK33z Do you have any docs hidden anywhere already? Otherwise, we can leave this as low hanging fruit for a first time contributor.

There are docs on the repo, https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-middleware/

I could get my hands on it. Usually, I am using it like this: https://github.com/kbariotis/gityeller/blob/master/server.js#L26. Would that be a good example?

Closing for a few reasons...

• Inactive for a while now.
• Hasn't seen too much activity/popularity.
• Keep the focus on Guides - Review and Simplify #1258 and review other top-level sections before jumping into more guides.
• Another instance of third-party docs before our core docs our fully ironed out.

With all that said...

• I'm marking this with a new Reconsider label, so in the event that someone wants to dig this back up they (or anything else marked Reconsider), we can.
• If someone wants to pick this up and has the time to really follow through with a PR, please feel free to re-open.

I think a better start for this may be adding some examples to the webpack-dev-middleware README if they don't already exist. At some point maybe we can create a Utilities section similar to Loaders and Plugins that contains packages like this that don't really fit into the latter two. For example:

• webpack-dev-server
• webpack-dev-middleware
• enhanced-resolve
• and there's definitely a whole bunch of others I've seen...
