or pass in options -

{
  "presets": [["minify", {
    "mangle": {
      "exclude": ["MyCustomError"]
    },
    "unsafe": {
      "typeConstructors": false
    },
    "keepFnName": true
  }]]
}

Via CLI

babel script.js --presets minify

Via Node API

require("@babel/core").transformSync("code", {
  presets: ["minify"]
});

Options

Two types of options:

1. 1-1 mapping with plugin
2. The same option passed to multiple plugins

1-1 mapping with plugin

• false - disable plugin
• true - enable plugin
• { ...pluginOpts } - enable plugin and pass pluginOpts to plugin

OptionName	Plugin	DefaultValue
booleans	transform-minify-booleans	true
builtIns	minify-builtins	true
consecutiveAdds	transform-inline-consecutive-adds	true
deadcode	minify-dead-code-elimination	true
evaluate	minify-constant-folding	true
flipComparisons	minify-flip-comparisons	true
guards	minify-guarded-expressions	true
infinity	minify-infinity	true
mangle	minify-mangle-names	true

replace	minify-replace	true
simplify	minify-simplify	true
simplifyComparisons	transform-simplify-comparison-operators	true
typeConstructors	minify-type-constructors	true

The same option passed to multiple plugins

• When multiple plugins require the same option, it's easier to declare it in one place. These options are passed on to two or more plugins.

OptionName	Plugins
keepFnName	Passed to mangle & deadcode
keepClassName	Passed to mangle & deadcode
tdz	Passed to builtIns, evaluate, deadcode, removeUndefined

Examples

{
  "presets": [["minify", {
    "evaluate": false,
    "mangle": true
  }]]
}

{
  "presets": [["minify", {
    "mangle": {
      "exclude": ["ParserError", "NetworkError"]
    }
  }]]
}

{
  "presets": [["minify", {
    "keepFnName": true
  }]]
}
// is the same as
{
  "presets": [["minify", {
    "mangle": {
      "keepFnName": true
    },
    "deadcode": {
      "keepFnName": true
    }
  }]]
}
