Watch mode on build-storybook?

[yjcxy12]

We are building storybook to integrate it into our existing Express app and using routing static server output of storybook to our route.

One thing is that looking at https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/blob/master/app/react/src/server/build.js#L74. It seems it doesn't support watch mode even if watch: true is passed in from webpack.config.js.

Would it be reasonable to run webpack().watch rather than webpack().run if watch: true is provided in webpack.config.js?

What's your reason not to use webpack dev server with start-storybook command when developing?

[yjcxy12]

We are exposing a route /storybook in our app for int and test environment, so that non-devs can access the storybook page.

We can develop locally using start-storybook and only use build-storybook in our CI, but then locally we have to run build-storybook to check/storybook endpoint is rending correctly after developing locally. An option to utilise webpack's watch mode on build-storybook would be nice.

OK I think I got your point. Want to send a PR?

[yjcxy12]

Sure will do.
