fix(node): Fix sourceMaps option to sourceMap in webpack config

[112khanhamza]

Current Behavior

when I run the below nx workspace command
nx g @nx/express:app kafka-service --directory=apps/kafka-service --e2eTestRunner=none

the apps/kafka-service/webpack.config.json is generated with the below lines

const { NxAppWebpackPlugin } = require('@nx/webpack/app-plugin');
const { join } = require('path');

module.exports = {
output: {
path: join(__dirname, 'dist'),
...(process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && {
devtoolModuleFilenameTemplate: '[absolute-resource-path]',
}),
},
plugins: [
new NxAppWebpackPlugin({
target: 'node',
compiler: 'tsc',
main: './src/main.ts',
tsConfig: './tsconfig.app.json',
assets: ["./src/assets"],
optimization: false,
outputHashing: 'none',
generatePackageJson: true,
sourceMaps: true,
})
],
};

there is no such property in NxAppWebpackPluginOptions called sourceMaps, hence source maps are not generated
the correct property is sourceMap

Expected Behavior

module.exports = {
output: {
path: join(__dirname, 'dist'),
...(process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && {
devtoolModuleFilenameTemplate: '[absolute-resource-path]',
}),
},
plugins: [
new NxAppWebpackPlugin({
target: 'node',
compiler: 'tsc',
main: './src/main.ts',
tsConfig: './tsconfig.app.json',
assets: ["./src/assets"],
optimization: false,
outputHashing: 'none',
generatePackageJson: true,
sourceMap: true,
})
],
};
