Specify the location where a debugger should locate TypeScript files instead of relative source locations. This string is treated verbatim inside the source-map where you can use a path or a URL:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "sourceMap": true,
    "sourceRoot": "https://my-website.com/debug/source/"
  }
}

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "sourceMap": true,
    "sourceRoot": "https://my-website.com/debug/source/"
  }
}

Would declare that index.js will have a source file at https://my-website.com/debug/source/index.ts.
