Additional information

According to the documentation it is possible to write the manifest to disk while using hot module replacement. It does not explain anything about how to do this though.

Please update the documentation to show how this can be done.

https://webpack.js.org/concepts/hot-module-replacement/#in-the-compiler

The compiler ensures that module IDs and chunk IDs are consistent between these builds. It typically stores these IDs in memory (e.g. with webpack-dev-server), but it's also possible to store them in a JSON file.

I would If i would actually know how to properly implement this. Apparently someone knows perfectly well how to implement this but did not specify the details.

So far I could not find any documented options on how to do this easily.
