webpackConfig for @nrwl/web:dev-server

See original GitHub issue

Description

While @nrwl/web:build allows you to extend webpack configuration using the webpackConfig flag. I’m surprised to understand that it’s not allowed in @nrwl/web:dev-server.

Motivation

I have been using docker configuration in my project that I’m trying to migrate to Nx but since extending the webpackConfig is not allowed in @nrwl/dev-server, I can’t add custom dev server parameters like

disableHostCheck: true,
historyApiFallback: true,

etc. The webpackConfig customisation muist be allowed be allowed in order to support it. Or in general too, it must be allowed to customise things whenever needed.

Suggested Implementation

There should be webpackConfig option available for @nrwl/web:dev-server just like @nrwl/web:build

"serve": {
    "executor": "@nrwl/web:dev-server",
    "options": {
    "webpackConfig": "<path>"
    }
}
