UglifyJS Webpack Plugin

This plugin uses UglifyJS v3 (`uglify-es`) to minify your JavaScript

ℹ️ webpack < v4.0.0 currently contains v0.4.6 of this plugin under webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin as an alias. For usage of the latest version (v1.0.0), please follow the instructions below. Aliasing v1.0.0 as webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin is scheduled for webpack v4.0.0

Install

npm i -D uglifyjs-webpack-plugin

Usage

webpack.config.js

const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin')

module.exports = {
  //...
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      new UglifyJsPlugin()
    ]
  }
}

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
`test`	`{RegExp\|Array<RegExp>}`	`/\.js$/i`	Test to match files against
`include`	`{RegExp\|Array<RegExp>}`	`undefined`	Files to `include`
`exclude`	`{RegExp\|Array<RegExp>}`	`undefined`	Files to `exclude`
`cache`	`{Boolean\|String}`	`false`	Enable file caching
`cacheKeys`	`{Function(defaultCacheKeys, file) -> {Object}}`	`defaultCacheKeys => defaultCacheKeys`	Allows you to override default cache keys
`parallel`	`{Boolean\|Number}`	`false`	Use multi-process parallel running to improve the build speed
`sourceMap`	`{Boolean}`	`false`	Use source maps to map error message locations to modules (This slows down the compilation) ⚠️ `cheap-source-map` options don't work with this plugin
`minify`	`{Function}`	`undefined`	Allows you to override default minify function
`uglifyOptions`	`{Object}`	`{...defaults}`	`uglify` Options
`extractComments`	`{Boolean\|RegExp\|Function<(node, comment) -> {Boolean\|Object}>}`	`false`	Whether comments shall be extracted to a separate file, (see details (`webpack >= 2.3.0`)
`warningsFilter`	`{Function(source) -> {Boolean}}`	`() => true`	Allow to filter uglify warnings

`test`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    test: /\.js($|\?)/i
  })
]

`include`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    include: /\/includes/
  })
]

`exclude`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    exclude: /\/excludes/
  })
]

`cache`

If you use your own minify function please read the minify section for cache invalidation correctly.

`{Boolean}`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    cache: true
  })
]

Enable file caching. Default path to cache directory: node_modules/.cache/uglifyjs-webpack-plugin.

`{String}`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    cache: 'path/to/cache'
  })
]

Path to cache directory.

`cacheKeys`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    cache: true,
    cacheKeys: (defaultCacheKeys, file) => {
      defaultCacheKeys.myCacheKey = 'myCacheKeyValue';
      
      return defaultCacheKeys;
    },
  })
]

Allows you to override default cache keys.

Default keys:

{
  'uglify-es': versions.uglify, // uglify version
  'uglifyjs-webpack-plugin': versions.plugin, // 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
}

`parallel`

`{Boolean}`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    parallel: true
  })
]

Enable parallelization. Default number of concurrent runs: os.cpus().length - 1.

`{Number}`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    parallel: 4
  })
]

Number of concurrent runs.

ℹ️ Parallelization can speedup your build significantly and is therefore highly recommended

`sourceMap`

If you use your own minify function please read the minify section for handling source maps correctly.

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    sourceMap: true
  })
]

⚠️ cheap-source-map options don't work with this plugin

`minify`

⚠️ Always use require inside minify function when parallel option enabled

webpack.config.js

[
  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 };
      }
  })
]

By default plugin uses uglify-es package.

Examples:

`uglify-js`

npm i -D uglify-js

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    // Uncomment lines below for cache invalidation correctly
    // cache: true,
    // cacheKeys(defaultCacheKeys) {
    //   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('uglify-js').minify(file, uglifyJsOptions);
    }
  })
]

`terser`

npm i -D terser

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    // Uncomment lines below for cache invalidation correctly
    // cache: true,
    // cacheKeys(defaultCacheKeys) {
    //   return Object.assign(
    //     {},
    //     defaultCacheKeys,
    //     { terser: require('terser/package.json').version },
    //   );
    // },
    minify(file, sourceMap) {
      // https://github.com/fabiosantoscode/terser#minify-options
      const terserOptions = { /* your `terser` package options */ };

      if (sourceMap) {
        terserOption.sourceMap = {
          content: sourceMap,
        };
      }

      return require('terser').minify(file, terserOptions);
    }
  })
]

      keep_classnames: undefined,
      keep_fnames: false,
      safari10: false,

  })
]

`extractComments`

`{Boolean}`

All comments that normally would be preserved by the comments option will be moved to a separate file. If the original file is named foo.js, then the comments will be stored to foo.js.LICENSE.

`{RegExp|String}` or `{Function<(node, comment) -> {Boolean}>}`

All comments that match the given expression (resp. are evaluated to true by the function) will be extracted to the separate file. The 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.

`{Object}`

Name	Type	Default	Description
`condition`	`{Regex\|Function}`	``	Regular Expression or function (see previous point)
`filename`	`{String\|Function}`	`${file}.LICENSE`	The file where the extracted comments will be stored. Can be either a `{String}` or a `{Function<(string) -> {String}>}`, which will be given the original filename. Default is to append the suffix `.LICENSE` to the original filename
`banner`	`{Boolean\|String\|Function}`	`/! For license information please see ${filename}.js.LICENSE /`	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

`warningsFilter`

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    warningsFilter: (src) => true
