Opens a new browser tab when Webpack loads. Very useful if you're lazy and don't want to force yourself to open a new tab when Webpack is ready to play!

npm install auto-open-browser-plugin --save-dev

Simply require the plugin and add it in the plugins section:

const OpenBrowserPlugin = require('auto-open-browser-plugin');

module.exports = {
  entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'lib/entry.js'),
  output: {
    path: __dirname + "/bundle/",
    filename: "bundle.js"
  },
  plugins: [
    new OpenBrowserPlugin({ url: 'http://localhost:3000' })
  ]
};

Type: String
Default: http://localhost:8080

Url to open when Webpack is ready. Needs to have the prefix http:// or https:// in order to open the browser.
