You can use source maps to preserve the mapping between your source code and the bundled/minified one.
Webpack provides the devtool option to enhance debugging in the developer tool just creating a source map of the bundled file for you. This option can be used from the command line or used in your webpack.config.js configuration file.
Below you can find a contrived example using the command line to generate the bundled file (bundle.js) along with the generated source map file (bundle.js.map).
$ webpack --devtool source-map ./entry.js bundle.js

index.html
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
entry.js
var hello = require('./hello.js');
document.body.innerHTML += 'It works ' + hello();
hello.js
module.exports = function () {
return 'Hello world!';
};
If you open index.html in your browser (I use Chrome but I think it is also supported in other browsers), you will see in the tab Sources that you have the bundled file under the file:// scheme and the source files under the special webpack:// scheme.
And yes, you can start debugging as if you had the original source code! Try to put a breakpoint in one line and refresh the page.
