 ## Tips
-1. The Webpack `devtool` setting is driven by the `ionic_source_map` variable. It defaults to `eval` for fast builds, but can provide the original source map by changing the value to `source-map`.

There are additional values that Webpack supports, but we only support `eval` and `source-maps` for now.
