Which files are generated when executing `dart2js`? and why?

dart, dart2js

Solution

All files are generated by dart2js on purpose:

.js: The JavaScript output of your application

.precompiled.js: The JavaScript output but with content security policy (CSP) support

.js.map: source map file used for debugging the JavaScript code in the browser. It contains a mapping from JavaScript to Dart code lines.

.js.deps: contains a list list of all references files used for compilation, prop ably for debugging but I'm not sure about this.

Problem

dart2js probably generates `.js.map`, `.js.deps` and `.precompiled.js`. What's the purpose of them? and I donno why `dart2js` doens't remove them after finishing compile.
