How can i include server/app.js in webpack-dev-server?

Question

I'm building a client with react and am running npm start and in package.json my scripts look like this:

"scripts": {
    "start": "webpack-dev-server"
  }

But i've also code other server side code in server/app.js that I want to run and if I run node app.js then that runs but i'd like server/app.js to be included with webpack-dev-server so that when I run npm start server/app.js is also run.

Is that possible? I was reading up on the various options and at this stage after the simplest.

Thx.

Update your script as follows:

"scripts": { 
     "start": "webpack-dev-server && node app.js"
 }

Thanks. This is where I'm a bit confused. In my server folder i've got app.js and a test.html page and when I run "node app.js" I can load test.html and the server scripts in app.js run and the websocket connects. But when I also run webdev-server-pack && node app.js I keep getting the same error message that the websocket is connecting but it actually never does. Been reading up all day on it but not sure where the prob lies. Thx.
