Split grunt-webpack and grunt-webpack-dev-server

[callmemagnus]

I would really appreciate that...

I'm using grunt-webpack in CI and it introduces webpack-dev-server peerDependency that is impossible to install because of this issue socketio/engine.io-client#348.

Could this be on the agenda in a reasonable timeframe ?

I'd also appreciate that. For the moment I'm using the webpack node API directly from grunt, but it'd be nice to reduce the boilerplate using this package if it wouldn't include the webpack-dev-server.

My task, in case it's useful for anyone:

  grunt.registerTask(
    'buildJs',
    function(mode) {
      var done = this.async();
      var config = require('../../resources/config/webpack.config');

      var handler = function(err, stats) {
        console.log(stats.toString({
          colors: true
        }));

        done(!err && !stats.hasErrors());
        done = function() {};
      };

      var compiler = webpack(config);
      if (mode === 'development') {
        compiler.watch(grunt.config('jsConfig.watchDelay'), handler);
      } else {
        compiler.run(handler);
      }
    });

I'd appreciate that.
I don't use the web server at all, but the grunt task does not seem to work when the server module is not present.

In the meantime, I created: https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-webpack-without-server
