Hi,

I’d like to customize a bit Ionic2 build. I can do that by changing webpack config. How should I proceed if I’d like to add additional webpack loader to a Ionic2 build?

Thanks

- Copy the stock one from `node_modules/@ionic/app-scripts/config` to the root of your project
- Add `"ionic_webpack": "./webpack.config.js"` to the `config` stanza of `package.json` as documented [here](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-scripts)
- Be prepared for it to break every time app-scripts is bumped, potentially requiring repeating these steps
