How to remove webpack:// from sources in the browser

I am using this webpack template for a Vue.JS website.

I deployed the app and it works well, but if you go to developer tools > Sources in Chrome, then under webpack:// you can see the components and the whole code. Is there a way to get rid of that? Or is this usual if you use webpack?

Thank you.

Solution

  • That's because webpack generates source maps which show the original source code and structure.

    For the webpack template, you should look for the config/index.js file,

    and in order to skip the source map generation change productionSourceMap to false:

    module.exports = {
  dev: {
    (...)
  },

  build: {
  
    (...)

    productionSourceMap: false,
    // https://webpack.js.org/configuration/devtool/#production
    devtool: '#source-map',

    (...)
  }
}
