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

{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.

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

webpack.config.js

[
  new UglifyJsPlugin({
    sourceMap: true
  })

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
  })
