+### `hmr`
+
+Enable/disable Hot Module Replacement (HMR), if disabled no HMR Code will be added.
+This could be used for non local development and production.

+**webpack.config.js**
+```js
+{
+  loader: 'style-loader'
+  options: {
+    hmr: false
+  }
+}
+```

 ### `base`
 
 This setting is primarily used as a workaround for [css clashes](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/style-loader/issues/163) when using one or more [DllPlugin](https://robertknight.github.io/posts/webpack-dll-plugins/)'s.  `base` allows you to prevent either the *app*'s css (or *DllPlugin2*'s css) from overwriting *DllPlugin1*'s css by specifying a css module id base which is greater than the range used by *DllPlugin1* e.g.:
