A terser script to minify all javascript files in a directory

terser.js

const fs = require('fs')
const {sync: globSync} = require('glob')
const filesize = require('filesize')
const Terser = require('terser')
const options = require(process.env.TERSER_CONFIG || './terserrc.json')

const getSize = (file) => {
  const {size} = fs.statSync(file)
  return filesize(size)
}

const files = globSync(`${process.env.TERSER_DIST_PATH || './dist'}/*.js`)
files.map(file => {
  console.log(`Minifying ${file} (${getSize(file)})`)
  const terserResult = Terser.minify(fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8'), options)
  if (terserResult.error) {
    console.log(`Minifying ${file} error.`, terserResult.error)
  }
  else {
    fs.writeFileSync(file, terserResult.code, 'utf8');
    console.log(`Minifying ${file} (${getSize(file)}) success.`)
  }
})

For example, if I have my js files is /folder/scripts/ - const files = globSync(${process.env.TERSER_DIST_PATH || './dist'}/*.js) - what the right way to set the path?

@Seekinguser I don't recall, but probably TERSER_CONFIG=/path/to/terserrc.json TERSER_DIST_PATH=/path/to/dist node terser.js

So if you have this file in ~/Projects/terser.js and you keep ~/Projects/ProjectA.terserrc.json near it, and you have ~/Projects/ProjectA which has a dist ~/Projects/ProjectA/dist then:

cd ~/Projects
TERSER_CONFIG=./ProjectA.terserrc.json TERSER_DIST_PATH=./ProjectA/dist node ./terser.js

This should minify the data in ~/Projects/ProjectA/dist.

Beyond this I'm not sure, good luck!

Hi @jrschumacher,

Thanks to you. I have made my version of the minification tool.
