Webpack Watch Files Plugin

Webpack plugin that watches additional files and triggers a rebuild when those files change. Version 1.2.1 is the latest stable release, with no recent updates. It supports webpack 3, 4, and 5. Unlike webpack's built-in watch machinery, this plugin allows watching glob patterns outside the compilation context (e.g., configuration files, data files). It works with live-reload but not HMR. The plugin is simple: accepts an array of file patterns (with negation support) and an optional verbose flag to log matched files. It has no dependencies beyond webpack.
