Hello component.js file and .js.map files are called SourceMap files It will not generated by default using angular cli What is use of those file ? Main use of them is to uglyfy js and css file in production environment When we use command ng build --prod, it wil generate dist folder, and using dist folder our project automatically uglyfy for production Solution : Still if you want to create .js and .js.map file than use below command ng build --prod As you can see that all minified js and css files are created I hope you got my point Thanks

Hi, When you create the component using ng g Component test it will create the component with test name : 1- test.html 2- test.specs.ts 3- test.ts Now, when you build the application then its create the js and map file according to tsconfig.json file. You can see in tsconfig.json . If in this file "sourceMap": true then it will create map file . Hope its helps to you. Please accept the ans if its help . Thanks .
