Please use https://github.com/webpack-contrib/terser-webpack-plugin
This plugin uses uglify-js to minify your JavaScript.
This module requires a minimum of Node v6.9.0 and Webpack v4.0.0.
To begin, you'll need to install uglifyjs-webpack-plugin
:
$ npm install uglifyjs-webpack-plugin --save-dev
Then add the plugin to your webpack
config. For example:
webpack.config.js
const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [new UglifyJsPlugin()],
},
};
And run webpack
via your preferred method.
Type: String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>
Default: /\.js(\?.*)?$/i
Test to match files against.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
test: /\.js(\?.*)?$/i,
}),
],
},
};
Type: String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>
Default: undefined
Files to include.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
include: /\/includes/,
}),
],
},
};
Type: String|RegExp|Array<String|RegExp>
Default: undefined
Files to exclude.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
exclude: /\/excludes/,
}),
],
},
};
Type: Function<(chunk) -> boolean>
Default: () => true
Allowing to filter which chunks should be uglified (by default all chunks are uglified).
Return true
to uglify the chunk, false
otherwise.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
chunkFilter: (chunk) => {
// Exclude uglification for the `vendor` chunk
if (chunk.name === 'vendor') {
return false;
}
return true;
},
}),
],
},
};
Type: Boolean|String
Default: false
Enable file caching.
Default path to cache directory: node_modules/.cache/uglifyjs-webpack-plugin
.
βΉοΈ If you use your own
minify
function please read theminify
section for cache invalidation correctly.
Enable/disable file caching.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
cache: true,
}),
],
},
};
Enable file caching and set path to cache directory.
webpack.config.js
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
cache: 'path/to/cache',
}),
],
},
};
Type: Function<(defaultCacheKeys, file) -> Object>
Default: defaultCacheKeys => defaultCacheKeys
Allows you to override default cache keys.
Default cache keys:
({
'uglify-js': require('uglify-js/package.json').version, // uglify version
'uglifyjs-webpack-plugin': require('../package.json').version, // plugin version
'uglifyjs-webpack-plugin-options': this.options, // plugin options
path: compiler.outputPath ? `${compiler.outputPath}/${file}` : file, // asset path
hash: crypto
.createHash('md4')
.update(input)
.digest('hex'), // source file hash
});
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
cache: true,
cacheKeys: (defaultCacheKeys, file) => {
defaultCacheKeys.myCacheKey = 'myCacheKeyValue';
return defaultCacheKeys;
},
}),
],
},
};
Type: Boolean|Number
Default: false
Use multi-process parallel running to improve the build speed.
Default number of concurrent runs: os.cpus().length - 1
.
βΉοΈ Parallelization can speedup your build significantly and is therefore highly recommended.
Enable/disable multi-process parallel running.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
parallel: true,
}),
],
},
};
Enable multi-process parallel running and set number of concurrent runs.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
parallel: 4,
}),
],
},
};
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Use source maps to map error message locations to modules (this slows down the compilation).
If you use your own minify
function please read the minify
section for handling source maps correctly.
β οΈ cheap-source-map
options don't work with this plugin.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
}),
],
},
};
Type: Function
Default: undefined
Allows you to override default minify function. By default plugin uses uglify-js package. Useful for using and testing unpublished versions or forks.
β οΈ Always userequire
insideminify
function whenparallel
option enabled.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
minify(file, sourceMap) {
const extractedComments = [];
// Custom logic for extract comments
const { error, map, code, warnings } = require('uglify-module') // Or require('./path/to/uglify-module')
.minify(file, {
/* Your options for minification */
});
return { error, map, code, warnings, extractedComments };
},
}),
],
},
};
Type: Object
Default: default
UglifyJS minify options.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
uglifyOptions: {
warnings: false,
parse: {},
compress: {},
mangle: true, // Note `mangle.properties` is `false` by default.
output: null,
toplevel: false,
nameCache: null,
ie8: false,
keep_fnames: false,
},
}),
],
},
};
Type: Boolean|String|RegExp|Function<(node, comment) -> Boolean|Object>
Default: false
Whether comments shall be extracted to a separate file, (see details).
By default extract only comments using /^\**!|@preserve|@license|@cc_on/i
regexp condition and remove remaining comments.
If the original file is named foo.js
, then the comments will be stored to foo.js.LICENSE
.
The uglifyOptions.output.comments
option specifies whether the comment will be preserved, i.e. it is possible to preserve some comments (e.g. annotations) while extracting others or even preserving comments that have been extracted.
Enable/disable extracting comments.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: true,
}),
],
},
};
Extract all
or some
(use /^\**!|@preserve|@license|@cc_on/i
RegExp) comments.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: 'all',
}),
],
},
};
All comments that match the given expression will be extracted to the separate file.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: /@extract/i,
}),
],
},
};
All comments that match the given expression will be extracted to the separate file.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: function(astNode, comment) {
if (/@extract/i.test(comment.value)) {
return true;
}
return false;
},
}),
],
},
};
Allow to customize condition for extract comments, specify extracted file name and banner.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: {
condition: /^\**!|@preserve|@license|@cc_on/i,
filename(file) {
return `${file}.LICENSE`;
},
banner(licenseFile) {
return `License information can be found in ${licenseFile}`;
},
},
}),
],
},
};
Type: Boolean|String|RegExp|Function<(node, comment) -> Boolean|Object>
Condition what comments you need extract.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: {
condition: 'some',
filename(file) {
return `${file}.LICENSE`;
},

module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: {
condition: /^\**!|@preserve|@license|@cc_on/i,
filename: 'extracted-comments.js',
banner(licenseFile) {
return `License information can be found in ${licenseFile}`;
},
},
}),
],
},
};
Type: Boolean|String|Function<(string) -> String>
Default: /*! For license information please see ${commentsFile} */
The banner text that points to the extracted file and will be added on top of the original file.
Can be false
(no banner), a String
, or a Function<(string) -> String>
that will be called with the filename where extracted comments have been stored.
Will be wrapped into comment.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
extractComments: {
condition: true,
filename(file) {
return `${file}.LICENSE`;
},
banner(commentsFile) {
return `My custom banner about license information ${commentsFile}`;

optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
uglifyOptions: {
output: {
comments: /@license/i,
},
},
extractComments: true,
}),
],
},
};
If you avoid building with comments, set uglifyOptions.output.comments to false as in this config:
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
uglifyOptions: {
output: {
comments: false,
},
},
}),
],
},
};
Override default minify function - use terser for minification.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
// Uncomment lines below for cache invalidation correctly
// cache: true,
// cacheKeys(defaultCacheKeys) {
// delete defaultCacheKeys['uglify-js'];
//
// return Object.assign(
// {},
// defaultCacheKeys,
// { 'uglify-js': require('uglify-js/package.json').version },
// );
// },
minify(file, sourceMap) {
// https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2#minify-options
const uglifyJsOptions = {
/* your `uglify-js` package options */
};
if (sourceMap) {
uglifyJsOptions.sourceMap = {
content: sourceMap,
};
}
return require('terser').minify(file, uglifyJsOptions);
},
}),
],
},
};
