Hot module replacement support?

[sokra]

The middleware only serves the app. It doesn't include hot notification stuff. So you can't use webpack-dev-server/client or webpack/hot/only-dev-server with the middleware (hence the dev-server in the module).

You can implement hot notification + HMR management code for your own server. (or just use the webpack-dev-server)

Ah, I was under the impression this wrapped webpack-dev-server in some way. I decided to run a webpackDevServer alongside the middleware, seems to work well:

  grunt.registerTask('hotserver:dev', function () {
    var WebpackDevServer = require('webpack-dev-server'),
        config = webpackConfig(['client', 'dev']),
        host = '0.0.0.0',
        port = 8001; // must match port in webpack config for client/dev

    new WebpackDevServer(webpack(config), {
      publicPath: config.output.publicPath,
      hot: true
    }).listen(port, host, function (err, result) {
      if (err)
        console.log(err);

      console.log('Hot server listening at '+ host +':'+ port);
    });
  });

Although since this appears to wrap expressjs, so I may just add my server middleware into that if possible, instead to avoid running two servers while on dev. Thanks for your help!
