Update only pieces that have been modified using Webpack.watch ()?

Question

I have a webpack assembly that uses the watch () method to continuously rebuild my javascript as I work. I also have an observer that uploads modified JS files to a remote server.

Now, when I change ANY file, it will recompile ALL files. Therefore, even if one fragment changes, it will update everything, including the provider file and other unrelated packages, fragments, etc.

Is there a way in Webpack to only recompile the changed files and change the dependencies?

Here is an example of my webpack build code:

var compiler = webpack(require('./webpack.config.js')); compiler.watch({ aggregateTimeout: 300, // wait so long for more changes poll: true }, function(err, stats) { console.log(stats); });
