For example: **webpack.config.js** ```js const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [new UglifyJsPlugin()], }, }; ``` And run `webpack` via your preferred method. ## Options ### `test` Type: `String|RegExp|Array` Default: `/\.js(\?.*)?$/i` Test to match files against. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ test: /\.js(\?.*)?$/i, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `include` Type: `String|RegExp|Array` Default: `undefined` Files to include. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ include: /\/includes/, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `exclude` Type: `String|RegExp|Array` Default: `undefined` Files to exclude. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ exclude: /\/excludes/, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `chunkFilter` 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** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ chunkFilter: (chunk) => { // Exclude uglification for the `vendor` chunk if (chunk.name === 'vendor') { return false; } return true; }, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `cache` Type: `Boolean|String` Default: `false` Enable file caching. Default path to cache directory: `node_modules/.cache/uglifyjs-webpack-plugin`. > ℹ️ If you use your own `minify` function please read the `minify` section for cache invalidation correctly. #### `Boolean` Enable/disable file caching. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ cache: true, }), ], }, }; ``` #### `String` Enable file caching and set path to cache directory. **webpack.config.js** **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ cache: 'path/to/cache', }), ], }, }; ``` ### `cacheKeys` Type: `Function<(defaultCacheKeys, file) -> Object>` Default: `defaultCacheKeys => defaultCacheKeys` Allows you to override default cache keys. Default cache keys: ```js ({ '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** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ cache: true, cacheKeys: (defaultCacheKeys, file) => { defaultCacheKeys.myCacheKey = 'myCacheKeyValue'; return defaultCacheKeys; }, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `parallel` Type: `Boolean|Number` Default: `false` Use multi-process parallel running to improve the build speed. Default number of concurrent runs: `os.cpus().length - 1`. > ℹ️ Parallelization can speedup your build significantly and is therefore **highly recommended**. #### `Boolean` Enable/disable multi-process parallel running. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ parallel: true, }), ], }, }; ``` #### `Number` Enable multi-process parallel running and set number of concurrent runs. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ parallel: 4, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `sourceMap` 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. > ⚠️ **`cheap-source-map` options don't work with this plugin**. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ sourceMap: true, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `minify` Type: `Function` Default: `undefined` Allows you to override default minify function. By default plugin uses [uglify-js](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2) package. Useful for using and testing unpublished versions or forks. > ⚠️ **Always use `require` inside `minify` function when `parallel` option enabled**. **webpack.config.js** ```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 }; }, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `uglifyOptions` Type: `Object` Default: [default](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2#minify-options) UglifyJS minify [options](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2#minify-options). **webpack.config.js** ```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, }, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `extractComments` Type: `Boolean|String|RegExp|Function<(node, comment) -> Boolean|Object>` Default: `false` Whether comments shall be extracted to a separate file, (see [details](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/commit/71933e979e51c533b432658d5e37917f9e71595a)). 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. #### `Boolean` Enable/disable extracting comments. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ extractComments: true, }), ], }, }; ``` #### `String` Extract `all` or `some` (use `/^\**!|@preserve|@license|@cc_on/i` RegExp) comments. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ extractComments: 'all', }), ], }, }; ``` #### `RegExp` All comments that match the given expression will be extracted to the separate file. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ extractComments: /@extract/i, }), ], }, }; ``` #### `Function<(node, comment) -> Boolean>` All comments that match the given expression will be extracted to the separate file. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ extractComments: function(astNode, comment) { if (/@extract/i.test(comment.value)) { return true; } return false; }, }), ], }, }; ``` #### `Object` Allow to customize condition for extract comments, specify extracted file name and banner. **webpack.config.js** ```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 ${licenseFile}`; }, }, }), ], }, }; ``` ##### `condition` Type: `Boolean|String|RegExp|Function<(node, comment) -> Boolean|Object>` Condition what comments you need extract. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ extractComments: { condition: 'some', filename(file) { return `${file}.LICENSE`; }, banner(licenseFile) { return `License information can be found in ${licenseFile}`; }, }, }), ], }, }; ``` ##### `filename` Type: `Regex|Function<(string) -> String>` Default: `${file}.LICENSE` The file where the extracted comments will be stored. Default is to append the suffix `.LICENSE` to the original filename. **webpack.config.js** ```js 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}`; }, }, }), ], }, }; ``` ##### `banner` Type: `Boolean|String|Function<(string) -> String>` Default: `/*! For license information please see ${commentsFile} */` The banner text that points to the extracted file and will be added on top of the original file. Can be `false` (no banner), a `String`, or a `Function<(string) -> String>` that will be called with the filename where extracted comments have been stored. Will be wrapped into comment. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ extractComments: { condition: true, filename(file) { return `${file}.LICENSE`; }, banner(commentsFile) { return `My custom banner about license information ${commentsFile}`; }, }, }), ], }, }; ``` ### `warningsFilter` Type: `Function<(warning, source) -> Boolean>` Default: `() => true` Allow to filter [uglify-js](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2) warnings. Return `true` to keep the warning, `false` otherwise. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ warningsFilter: (warning, source) => { if (/Dropping unreachable code/i.test(warning)) { return true; } if (/filename\.js/i.test(source)) { return true; } return false; }, }), ], }, }; ``` ## Examples ### Cache And Parallel Enable cache and multi-process parallel running. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ cache: true, parallel: true, }), ], }, }; ``` ### Preserve Comments Extract all legal comments (i.e. `/^\**!|@preserve|@license|@cc_on/i`) and preserve `/@license/i` comments. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ uglifyOptions: { output: { comments: /@license/i, }, }, extractComments: true, }), ], }, }; ``` ### Remove Comments If you avoid building with comments, set **uglifyOptions.output.comments** to **false** as in this config: **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { optimization: { minimizer: [ new UglifyJsPlugin({ uglifyOptions: { output: { comments: false, }, }, }), ], }, }; ``` ### Custom Minify Function Override default minify function - use [terser](https://github.com/fabiosantoscode/terser) for minification. **webpack.config.js** ```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); }, }), ], }, }; ``` ## Contributing Please take a moment to read our contributing guidelines if you haven't yet done so.
