SourceMaps explained

Source Maps explained

Sourcemaps are becoming more and more part of our development stack and understanding them sooner or later is essential.

I'll give a quick run down on the following regarding source maps:

  • how are they structured
  • the different formats and how to encode/decode them
  • where they are used (JavaScript transpilers, CSS transpilers, bundlers)
  • how does the browser find and consumer source maps

Bonus if time

  • short mention of ongoing project that will add source mapped error traces to test runners like zuul
