devMiddleware.fileSystem.readFileSync not work with gulp

[sunyang713]

hi, so just to be clear, is it still okay to manually serve a file from devMiddleware.fileSystem? For my project, this is pretty important - i.e. I need to modify the index.html request handler that devMiddleware automatically implements. How exactly can I "rewrite requests" for devMiddleware.fileSystem files?

You should not access devMiddleware.fileSystem. It's private. Instead rewrite requests.

@sokra , I have a similar requirement for this.

I want to process some file in a custom webpack plugin using external library like node-sass. One reason is the webpack need a JS entry for stylesheet processing, it demands a extraction plugin thereafter. Kinda a little bit overhead to me.

Exposing the filesystem of the compiler will have a few benefit to server the output file directly just like it is emitted by webpack compile.

It sounds make sense to me. maybe I am wrong.

I got it working by accessing compilation.compiler.outputFileSystem; and then attach node-sass compile result to complition.assets
