sbt-terser
An sbt-web plugin to perform terser optimization on the asset pipeline.
Why choose terser?
uglify-es is no longer maintained and uglify-js does not support ES6+.
terser is a fork of uglify-es that mostly retains API and CLI compatibility
with uglify-es and uglify-js@3.
Usage
To use this plugin, use the addSbtPlugin command within your project's plugins.sbt file:
addSbtPlugin("com.github.andriimartynov" % "sbt-terser" % "0.0.1")
Your project's build file also needs to enable sbt-web plugins. For example, with build.sbt:
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(SbtWeb)
As with all sbt-web asset pipeline plugins you must declare their order of execution:
pipelineStages := Seq(terser)
A standard build profile for the terser optimizer is provided which will mangle variables for obfuscation and
compression. Each input .js file found in your assets folders will have a corresponding .min.js file and source maps will also be generated.
includeFilter
If you wish to limit or extend what is uglified then you can use filters:
includeFilter in terser := GlobFilter("myjs/*.js"),
...where the above will include only those files under the myjs folder.
The sbt excludeFilter is also available to the terser scope and defaults to excluding the public folder and extracted Webjars.
