Add visual progress indicator

issacgerges opened this issue · 3 comments

Feature Proposal

webpack-plugin-serve supported two built-in visual progress indicators (full and minimal). At the moment webpack-dev-server only supports console based progress.

It would be great if webpack-dev-server provided visual progress via options like

   client: {
       progress: 'console' | 'visual' | 'visual/min'
    }

or if the library provided hooks/instruction for folks to implement themselves

Feature Use Case

To visually see the progress of a compilation

Please paste the results of npx webpack-cli info here, and mention other relevant information

Hello, do you want to send a PR?

I ended up leaving true for compat and adding circular or minimal, but open to suggestions on everything!
