Options

• "sourcemap" (Default: "true"): Adds a source map for this build.

2. Common.js (CJS) Module Syntax.
3. All dependencies included in this file.

Note that this does not add or modify the "main" entrypoint to your package.json. See @pika/plugin-simple-bin for an example of how to automatically point to this bundled build.
