UglifyJS 和 webpack v5

Question

We've been using UglifyJS and webpack v4 for our react code, but then just updated to webpack v5. It appears that UglifyJS does not work with webpack v5. Is there an alternative? We need something that works with babel-loader.

Thanks

Answer 1

Webpack 5 comes with terser-webpack-plugin out of the box, hence you can just import it and configure as you wish.

Answer 2

Here's an example on how to use the Terser plugin for webpack.

// webpack.config.js
const TerserPlugin = require("terser-webpack-plugin");

const config = {
    ...
    optimization: {
        minimize: true,
        minimizer: [
            new TerserPlugin(),
        ],
    }
};
