ncc: Bundle and minify a Node.js application and generate source maps.

$ ncc build --source-map ${filename-js}

try on your machine

This command involves the use of the "ncc" tool to build a JavaScript file and generate a source map. Let's break down the different components:

ncc: This is the command-line tool called "ncc" (Node.js Compiler Collection). It is often used for bundling and compiling Node.js applications or libraries.
build: It is a specific command or action that is being executed with ncc. In this case, it instructs ncc to build or compile the JavaScript file.
--source-map: This is an option or flag provided to the "ncc build" command. It tells ncc to generate a source map alongside the JavaScript file. A source map is a file that maps the source code to the compiled code, allowing for easier debugging and development.
${filename-js}: This is a reference to a variable or placeholder. The actual value of the variable can vary depending on the context and the system executing the command. It is likely that the intention is to substitute this variable with the actual name of the JavaScript file (ending with ".js") that needs to be built.

So, when you run this command, ncc will build or compile the specified JavaScript file and generate a source map for it, aiding in debugging and development processes.
