webpack-http-server

An on-demand runtime webpack compilation over HTTP, version 0.5.0. It acts as an Express server that accepts compilation requests via HTTP POST or Node.js API, returning a unique preview URL for each compiled module. The server runs on a random port and allows dynamic entrypoints, unlike webpack-dev-server which is scoped to a single compilation. Key differentiators include per-request compilation IDs, preview routes, and a focus on example-driven testing workflows. Released as a lightweight alternative to static compilation setups.
