How to use dev:module entry point in infernojs npm package

Question

I'm using inferno js with typescript (using ts-loader and transformInferno in webpack3) and mostly it's working well. However when running within the webpack-dev-server inferno outputs You are running production build of Inferno in development mode. Use dev:module entry point. in the browser conosole.

Whilst I can see that inferno has a dev:module entry defined in the package.json I don't understand how to use this entry point rather than the default module?

Answer 1

Registering an alias in webpack should do the trick. Like this:

resolve: {
    alias: {
        'inferno': 'inferno/dist/index.dev.esm.js',
    },
},

You can then add a condition to point to the non-dev one if you are running in production mode or not.
