The command swc ${filename} --watch
is a command-line instruction that is using the SWC (Semantic Web Compiler) tool to transpile and monitor a specific file.
Here's a breakdown of each component:
-
swc
: This is the command used to invoke the SWC tool. SWC is a JavaScript/TypeScript compiler that focuses on producing highly optimized code. It can be used as a command-line tool or within build processes. -
${filename}
: This is a placeholder representing the name of the file you want to compile. It could be replaced with the actual name or path of the file. -
--watch
: This is an option flag appended to the command. It instructs the SWC tool to watch for any changes made to the file specified by${filename}
. Whenever the file is modified, SWC will automatically recompile it.
By running this command, you are essentially telling the SWC tool to transpile and monitor a specific file, providing an automated workflow for code compilation whenever changes occur.
