How to specify webpack-dev-server webpack.config.js file location

Just came across this issue. As spacek33z said, --config is correct. I couldn't find this in the webpack docs or the webpack-dev-server docs, so I found myself at this question.

e.g.

webpack-dev-server --config demo/webpack.config.js


For newbies like me:

Mention the config path in package.json similar to below:

{
  "name": "abc",

  "version": "0.0.1",

  "description": "description",

  "main": "index.js",

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "webpack-dev-server --config ./client/webpack.config.js",
    "build": "webpack --config ./client/webpack.config.js"
   }
}
