Webpack --watch and launching nodemon?

Question

Thanks to an excellent answer by @McMath I now have webpack compiling both my client and my server. I\'m now on to trying to make webpack --watch be useful. Ideally

You don't need any plugins to use webpack and nodemon, just use this scripts on your package.json

"scripts": {
  "start": "nodemon --ignore './client/dist' -e js,ejs,html,css --exec 'npm run watch'",
  "watch": "npm run build && node ./server/index.js",
  "build": "rimraf ./client/dist && webpack --bail --progress --profile"
},
