Additional information

This option allows the user to specify which socket transport mode to use for communication between the dev server and client. It is still an experimental option. Usage:

string:

transportMode: 'sockjs'

transportMode: 'ws'

object, with server (can be string mode/path or class), client (string mode/path) properties:

equivalent to ws mode above:

transportMode: {
  server: 'ws',
  client: 'ws'
}

custom implementation:

transportMode: {
  server: require('path/to/custom/server'), // can be path or class (class seen here)
  client: require.resolve('path/to/custom/client') // must be path
}

[x] I am willing to work on this issue and submit a pull request.
