This loader uses config:

entry: [
  'webpack-dev-server/client?http://0.0.0.0:8080', // WebpackDevServer host and port
  'webpack/hot/only-dev-server',
  './scripts/index' // Your appʼs entry point
]

while the official docs suggests:
http://webpack.github.io/docs/webpack-dev-server.html

 entry: {
    app: ['webpack/hot/dev-server', './app/main.js']
  },

Why is this different?

IIRC webpack/hot/dev-server will reload page if HMR can't be cleanly updated, webpack/hot/only-dev-server won't: webpack/webpack#418 (comment). I find F5-reloading very distracting and rarely want it so I suggest to have that turned off by default.

As for not needing webpack-dev-server/client — docs suggest you use --inline mode in CLI which injects this script automatically. I don't use inline mode (it seems unsupported from Node API) so I write it explicitly. I also prefer it being explicit so I better understand the complete picture of what's going on.
