How to automatically delete * .hot-update.json files when using the "hot-loader" package?

Question

I have a series of hotloader files (* .hot-loader.json) created in my output directory. How can I guarantee that this output directory will clear junk files?

Note. I also use Webpack.

Answer 1

Use webpack-middleware-devas these files will be loaded into memory, not onto disk.

webpack-dev-serverautomatically uses webpack-middleware-dev.

Answer 2

Change to your output directory (it is assumed that this is / dist, unless you change it to yours), and then:

    cd src / dist
    sudo rm * .hot-update.json
