A JavaScript mangler/compressor toolkit for ES6+.

*note*: <s>You can support this project on patreon: [link]</s> **The Terser Patreon is shutting down in favor of opencollective**. Check out [PATRONS.md](https://github.com/terser/terser/blob/master/PATRONS.md) for our first-tier patrons.

Terser recommends you use RollupJS to bundle your modules, as that produces smaller code overall.

*Beautification* has been undocumented and is *being removed* from terser, we recommend you use [prettier](https://npmjs.com/package/prettier).

Why choose terser?
------------------

`uglify-es` is [no longer maintained](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2/issues/3156#issuecomment-392943058) and `uglify-js` does not support ES6+.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`.

Install
-------

First make sure you have installed the latest version of [node.js](http://nodejs.org/)
(You may need to restart your computer after this step).

From NPM for use as a command line app:

    npm install terser -g

From NPM for programmatic use:

    npm install terser

# Command line usage

<!-- CLI_USAGE:START -->

```
terser [input files] [options]
```

Terser can take multiple input files.  It's recommended that you pass the
input files first, then pass the options.  Terser will parse input files
in sequence and apply any compression options.  The files are parsed in the
same global scope, that is, a reference from a file to some
variable/function declared in another file will be matched properly.

Command line arguments that take options (like --parse, --compress, --mangle and
--format) can take in a comma-separated list of default option overrides. For
instance:

    terser input.js --compress ecma=2015,computed_props=false

If no input file is specified, Terser will read from STDIN.

If you wish to pass your options before the input files, separate the two with
a double dash to prevent input files being used as option arguments:

    terser --compress --mangle -- input.js

### Command line options

                                                by the .user.js engine `caller`.
                                `expression`  Parse a single expression, rather than
                                              a program (for parsing JSON).

                                               `strict` disables quoted properties
                                               being automatically reserved.
                                `regex`  Only mangle matched property names.
                                `only_annotated` Only mangle properties defined with /*@__MANGLE_PROP__*/.

                                            example for licensing information.
                                            This will not be parsed, but the source
                                            map will adjust for its presence.
                                `quote_style`  Quote style:
                                               0 - auto
                                               1 - single
                                               2 - double
                                               3 - original
                                `wrap_iife`  Wrap IIFEs in parenthesis. Note: you may
                                             want to disable `negate_iife` under
                                             compressor options.
                                `wrap_func_args`  Wrap function arguments in parenthesis.
    -o, --output <file>         Output file path (default STDOUT). Specify `ast` or
                                `spidermonkey` to write Terser or SpiderMonkey AST
                                as JSON to STDOUT respectively.
    --comments [filter]         Preserve copyright comments in the output. By
                                default this works like Google Closure, keeping
                                JSDoc-style comments that contain e.g. "@license",
                                or start with "!". You can optionally pass one of the
                                following arguments to this flag:
                                - "all" to keep all comments
                                - `false` to omit comments in the output
                                - a valid JS RegExp like `/foo/` or `/^!/` to
                                keep only matching comments.
                                Note that currently not *all* comments can be
                                kept when compression is on, because of dead
                                code removal or cascading statements into
                                sequences.
    --config-file <file>        Read `minify()` options from JSON file.
    -d, --define <expr>[=value] Global definitions.
    --ecma <version>            Specify ECMAScript release: 5, 2015, 2016, etc.
    -e, --enclose [arg[:value]] Embed output in a big function with configurable
                                arguments and values.
    --ie8                       Support non-standard Internet Explorer 8.
                                Equivalent to setting `ie8: true` in `minify()`
                                for `compress`, `mangle` and `format` options.
                                By default Terser will not try to be IE-proof.
    --keep-classnames           Do not mangle/drop class names.
    --keep-fnames               Do not mangle/drop function names.  Useful for
                                code relying on Function.prototype.name.
    --module                    Input is an ES6 module. If `compress` or `mangle` is
                                enabled then the `toplevel` option will be enabled.
    --name-cache <file>         File to hold mangled name mappings.
    --safari10                  Support non-standard Safari 10/11.
                                Equivalent to setting `safari10: true` in `minify()`
                                for `mangle` and `format` options.
                                By default `terser` will not work around
                                Safari 10/11 bugs.
    --source-map [options]      Enable source map/specify source map options:
                                `base`  Path to compute relative paths from input files.
                                `content`  Input source map, useful if you're compressing
                                           JS that was generated from some other original
                                           code. Specify "inline" if the source map is
                                           included within the sources.
                                `filename`  Name and/or location of the output source.
                                `includeSources`  Pass this flag if you want to include
                                                  the content of source files in the
                                                  source map as sourcesContent property.
                                `root`  Path to the original source to be included in
                                        the source map.
                                `url`  If specified, path to the source map to append in
                                       `//# sourceMappingURL`.
    --timings                   Display operations run time on STDERR.
    --toplevel                  Compress and/or mangle variables in top level scope.
    --wrap <name>               Embed everything in a big function, making the
                                “exports” and “global” variables available. You
                                need to pass an argument to this option to
                                specify the name that your module will take
                                when included in, say, a browser.
```

Specify `--output` (`-o`) to declare the output file.  Otherwise the output
goes to STDOUT.

## CLI source map options

Terser can generate a source map file, which is highly useful for
debugging your compressed JavaScript.  To get a source map, pass
`--source-map --output output.js` (source map will be written out to
`output.js.map`).

Additional options:

- `--source-map "filename='<NAME>'"` to specify the name of the source map.

- `--source-map "root='<URL>'"` to pass the URL where the original files can be found.

- `--source-map "url='<URL>'"` to specify the URL where the source map can be found.
  Otherwise Terser assumes HTTP `X-SourceMap` is being used and will omit the
  `//# sourceMappingURL=` directive.

For example:

    terser js/file1.js js/file2.js \
             -o foo.min.js -c -m \
             --source-map "root='http://foo.com/src',url='foo.min.js.map'"

The above will compress and mangle `file1.js` and `file2.js`, will drop the
output in `foo.min.js` and the source map in `foo.min.js.map`.  The source
mapping will refer to `http://foo.com/src/js/file1.js` and
`http://foo.com/src/js/file2.js` (in fact it will list `http://foo.com/src`
as the source map root, and the original files as `js/file1.js` and
`js/file2.js`).

### Composed source map

When you're compressing JS code that was output by a compiler such as
CoffeeScript, mapping to the JS code won't be too helpful.  Instead, you'd
like to map back to the original code (i.e. CoffeeScript).  Terser has an
option to take an input source map.  Assuming you have a mapping from
CoffeeScript → compiled JS, Terser can generate a map from CoffeeScript →
compressed JS by mapping every token in the compiled JS to its original
location.

To use this feature pass `--source-map "content='/path/to/input/source.map'"`
or `--source-map "content=inline"` if the source map is included inline with
the sources.

## CLI compress options

You need to pass `--compress` (`-c`) to enable the compressor.  Optionally
you can pass a comma-separated list of [compress options](#compress-options).

Options are in the form `foo=bar`, or just `foo` (the latter implies
a boolean option that you want to set `true`; it's effectively a
shortcut for `foo=true`).

Example:

    terser file.js -c toplevel,sequences=false

## CLI mangle options

To enable the mangler you need to pass `--mangle` (`-m`).  The following
(comma-separated) options are supported:

- `toplevel` (default `false`) -- mangle names declared in the top level scope.

- `eval` (default `false`) -- mangle names visible in scopes where `eval` or `with` are used.

When mangling is enabled but you want to prevent certain names from being
mangled, you can declare those names with `--mangle reserved` — pass a
comma-separated list of names.  For example:

    terser ... -m reserved=['$','require','exports']

to prevent the `require`, `exports` and `$` names from being changed.

### CLI mangling property names (`--mangle-props`)

**Note:** THIS **WILL** BREAK YOUR CODE. A good rule of thumb is not to use this unless you know exactly what you're doing and how this works and read this section until the end.

Mangling property names is a separate step, different from variable name mangling.  Pass
`--mangle-props` to enable it. The least dangerous
way to use this is to use the `regex` option like so:

```
terser example.js -c -m --mangle-props regex=/_$/
```

This will mangle all properties that end with an
underscore. So you can use it to mangle internal methods.

By default, it will mangle all properties in the
input code with the exception of built in DOM properties and properties
in core JavaScript classes, which is what will break your code if you don't:

1. Control all the code you're mangling
2. Avoid using a module bundler, as they usually will call Terser on each file individually, making it impossible to pass mangled objects between modules.
3. Avoid calling functions like `defineProperty` or `hasOwnProperty`, because they refer to object properties using strings and will break your code if you don't know what you are doing.

An example:

```javascript
// example.js
var x = {
    baz_: 0,
    foo_: 1,
    calc: function() {
        return this.foo_ + this.baz_;
    }
};
x.bar_ = 2;
x["baz_"] = 3;
console.log(x.calc());
```
Mangle all properties (except for JavaScript `builtins`) (**very** unsafe):
```bash
$ terser example.js -c passes=2 -m --mangle-props
```
```javascript
var x={o:3,t:1,i:function(){return this.t+this.o},s:2};console.log(x.i());
```
Mangle all properties except for `reserved` properties (still very unsafe):
```bash
$ terser example.js -c passes=2 -m --mangle-props reserved=[foo_,bar_]
```
```javascript
var x={o:3,foo_:1,t:function(){return this.foo_+this.o},bar_:2};console.log(x.t());
```
Mangle all properties matching a `regex` (not as unsafe but still unsafe):
```bash
$ terser example.js -c passes=2 -m --mangle-props regex=/_$/
```
```javascript
var x={o:3,t:1,calc:function(){return this.t+this.o},i:2};console.log(x.calc());
```

Combining mangle properties options:
```bash
$ terser example.js -c passes=2 -m --mangle-props regex=/_$/,reserved=[bar_]
```
```javascript
var x={o:3,t:1,calc:function(){return this.t+this.o},bar_:2};console.log(x.calc());
```

In order for this to be of any use, we avoid mangling standard JS names and DOM
API properties by default (`--mangle-props builtins` to override).

A regular expression can be used to define which property names should be
mangled.  For example, `--mangle-props regex=/^_/` will only mangle property
names that start with an underscore.

When you compress multiple files using this option, in order for them to
work together in the end we need to ensure somehow that one property gets
mangled to the same name in all of them.  For this, pass `--name-cache filename.json`
and Terser will maintain these mappings in a file which can then be reused.
It should be initially empty.  Example:

```bash
$ rm -f /tmp/cache.json  # start fresh
$ terser file1.js file2.js --mangle-props --name-cache /tmp/cache.json -o part1.js
$ terser file3.js file4.js --mangle-props --name-cache /tmp/cache.json -o part2.js
```

Now, `part1.js` and `part2.js` will be consistent with each other in terms
of mangled property names.

Using the name cache is not necessary if you compress all your files in a
single call to Terser.

### Mangling unquoted names (`--mangle-props keep_quoted`)

Using quoted property name (`o["foo"]`) reserves the property name (`foo`)
so that it is not mangled throughout the entire script even when used in an
unquoted style (`o.foo`). Example:

```javascript
// stuff.js
var o = {
    "foo": 1,
    bar: 3
};
o.foo += o.bar;
console.log(o.foo);
```
```bash
$ terser stuff.js --mangle-props keep_quoted -c -m
```
```javascript
var o={foo:1,o:3};o.foo+=o.o,console.log(o.foo);
```

### Debugging property name mangling

You can also pass `--mangle-props debug` in order to mangle property names
without completely obscuring them. For example the property `o.foo`
would mangle to `o._$foo$_` with this option. This allows property mangling
of a large codebase while still being able to debug the code and identify
where mangling is breaking things.

```bash
$ terser stuff.js --mangle-props debug -c -m
```
```javascript
var o={_$foo$_:1,_$bar$_:3};o._$foo$_+=o._$bar$_,console.log(o._$foo$_);
```

You can also pass a custom suffix using `--mangle-props debug=XYZ`. This would then
mangle `o.foo` to `o._$foo$XYZ_`. You can change this each time you compile a
script to identify how a property got mangled. One technique is to pass a
random number on every compile to simulate mangling changing with different
inputs (e.g. as you update the input script with new properties), and to help
identify mistakes like writing mangled keys to storage.

# API Reference

<!-- API_REFERENCE:START -->

Assuming installation via NPM, you can load Terser in your application
like this:

```javascript
const { minify } = require("terser");
```

Or,

```javascript
import { minify } from "terser";
```

Browser loading is also supported. It exposes a global variable `Terser` containing a `.minify` property:
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/source-map@0.7.3/dist/source-map.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/terser/dist/bundle.min.js"></script>
```

There is a single async high level function, **`async minify(code, options)`**,
which will perform all minification [phases](#minify-options) in a configurable
manner. By default `minify()` will enable [`compress`](#compress-options)
and [`mangle`](#mangle-options). Example:
```javascript
var code = "function add(first, second) { return first + second; }";
var result = await minify(code, { sourceMap: true });
console.log(result.code);  // minified output: function add(n,d){return n+d}
console.log(result.map);  // source map
```

You can `minify` more than one JavaScript file at a time by using an object
for the first argument where the keys are file names and the values are source
code:
```javascript
var code = {
    "file1.js": "function add(first, second) { return first + second; }",
    "file2.js": "console.log(add(1 + 2, 3 + 4));"
};
var result = await minify(code);
console.log(result.code);
// function add(d,n){return d+n}console.log(add(3,7));
```

The `toplevel` option:
```javascript
var code = {
    "file1.js": "function add(first, second) { return first + second; }",
    "file2.js": "console.log(add(1 + 2, 3 + 4));"
};
var options = { toplevel: true };
var result = await minify(code, options);
console.log(result.code);
// console.log(3+7);
```

The `nameCache` option:
```javascript
var options = {
    mangle: {
        toplevel: true,
    },
    nameCache: {}
};
var result1 = await minify({
    "file1.js": "function add(first, second) { return first + second; }"
}, options);
var result2 = await minify({
    "file2.js": "console.log(add(1 + 2, 3 + 4));"
}, options);
console.log(result1.code);
// function n(n,r){return n+r}
console.log(result2.code);
// console.log(n(3,7));
```

You may persist the name cache to the file system in the following way:
```javascript
var cacheFileName = "/tmp/cache.json";
var options = {
    mangle: {
        properties: true,
    },
    nameCache: JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(cacheFileName, "utf8"))
};
fs.writeFileSync("part1.js", await minify({
    "file1.js": fs.readFileSync("file1.js", "utf8"),
    "file2.js": fs.readFileSync("file2.js", "utf8")
}, options).code, "utf8");
fs.writeFileSync("part2.js", await minify({
    "file3.js": fs.readFileSync("file3.js", "utf8"),
    "file4.js": fs.readFileSync("file4.js", "utf8")
}, options).code, "utf8");
fs.writeFileSync(cacheFileName, JSON.stringify(options.nameCache), "utf8");
```

An example of a combination of `minify()` options:
```javascript
var code = {
    "file1.js": "function add(first, second) { return first + second; }",
    "file2.js": "console.log(add(1 + 2, 3 + 4));"
};
var options = {
    toplevel: true,
    compress: {
        global_defs: {
            "@console.log": "alert"
        },
        passes: 2
    },
    format: {
        preamble: "/* minified */"
    }
};
var result = await minify(code, options);
console.log(result.code);
// /* minified */
// alert(10);"
```

An error example:
```javascript
try {
    const result = await minify({"foo.js" : "if (0) else console.log(1);"});
    // Do something with result
} catch (error) {
    const { message, filename, line, col, pos } = error;
    // Do something with error
}
```

## Minify options

- `ecma` (default `undefined`) - pass `5`, `2015`, `2016`, etc to override
  `compress` and `format`'s `ecma` options.

- `enclose` (default `false`) - pass `true`, or a string in the format
  of `"args[:values]"`, where `args` and `values` are comma-separated
  argument names and values, respectively, to embed the output in a big
  function with the configurable arguments and values.

- `parse` (default `{}`) — pass an object if you wish to specify some
  additional [parse options](#parse-options).

- `compress` (default `{}`) — pass `false` to skip compressing entirely.
  Pass an object to specify custom [compress options](#compress-options).

- `mangle` (default `true`) — pass `false` to skip mangling names, or pass
  an object to specify [mangle options](#mangle-options) (see below).

  - `mangle.properties` (default `false`) — a subcategory of the mangle option.
    Pass an object to specify custom [mangle property options](#mangle-properties-options).

- `module` (default `false`) — Use when minifying an ES6 module. "use strict"
  is implied and names can be mangled on the top scope. If `compress` or
  `mangle` is enabled then the `toplevel` option will be enabled.

- `format` or `output` (default `null`) — pass an object if you wish to specify
  additional [format options](#format-options).  The defaults are optimized
  for best compression.

- `sourceMap` (default `false`) - pass an object if you wish to specify
  [source map options](#source-map-options).

- `toplevel` (default `false`) - set to `true` if you wish to enable top level
  variable and function name mangling and to drop unused variables and functions.

- `nameCache` (default `null`) - pass an empty object `{}` or a previously
  used `nameCache` object if you wish to cache mangled variable and
  property names across multiple invocations of `minify()`. Note: this is
  a read/write property. `minify()` will read the name cache state of this
  object and update it during minification so that it may be
  reused or externally persisted by the user.

- `ie8` (default `false`) - set to `true` to support IE8.

- `keep_classnames` (default: `undefined`) - pass `true` to prevent discarding or mangling
  of class names. Pass a regular expression to only keep class names matching that regex.

- `keep_fnames` (default: `false`) - pass `true` to prevent discarding or mangling
  of function names. Pass a regular expression to only keep function names matching that regex.
  Useful for code relying on `Function.prototype.name`. If the top level minify option
  `keep_classnames` is `undefined` it will be overridden with the value of the top level
  minify option `keep_fnames`.

- `safari10` (default: `false`) - pass `true` to work around Safari 10/11 bugs in
  loop scoping and `await`. See `safari10` options in [`mangle`](#mangle-options)
  and [`format`](#format-options) for details.

## Minify options structure

```javascript
{
    parse: {
        // parse options
    },
    compress: {
        // compress options
    },
    mangle: {
        // mangle options

        properties: {
            // mangle property options
        }
    },
    format: {
        // format options (can also use `output` for backwards compatibility)
    },
    sourceMap: {
        // source map options
    },
    ecma: 5, // specify one of: 5, 2015, 2016, etc.
    enclose: false, // or specify true, or "args:values"
    keep_classnames: false,
    keep_fnames: false,
    ie8: false,
    module: false,
    nameCache: null, // or specify a name cache object
    safari10: false,
    toplevel: false
}
```

### Source map options

To generate a source map:
```javascript
var result = await minify({"file1.js": "var a = function() {};"}, {
    sourceMap: {
        filename: "out.js",
        url: "out.js.map"
    }
});
console.log(result.code); // minified output
console.log(result.map);  // source map
```

Note that the source map is not saved in a file, it's just returned in
`result.map`.  The value passed for `sourceMap.url` is only used to set
`//# sourceMappingURL=out.js.map` in `result.code`. The value of
`filename` is only used to set `file` attribute (see [the spec][sm-spec])
in source map file.

You can set option `sourceMap.url` to be `"inline"` and source map will
be appended to code.

You can also specify sourceRoot property to be included in source map:
```javascript
var result = await minify({"file1.js": "var a = function() {};"}, {
    sourceMap: {
        root: "http://example.com/src",
        url: "out.js.map"
    }
});
```

If you're compressing compiled JavaScript and have a source map for it, you
can use `sourceMap.content`:
```javascript
var result = await minify({"compiled.js": "compiled code"}, {
    sourceMap: {
        content: "content from compiled.js.map",
        url: "minified.js.map"
    }
});
// same as before, it returns `code` and `map`
```

If you're using the `X-SourceMap` header instead, you can just omit `sourceMap.url`.

If you happen to need the source map as a raw object, set `sourceMap.asObject` to `true`.

<!-- API_REFERENCE:END -->

<!-- OPTIONS:START -->

## Parse options

- `bare_returns` (default `false`) -- support top level `return` statements

- `html5_comments` (default `true`)

- `shebang` (default `true`) -- support `#!command` as the first line

- `spidermonkey` (default `false`) -- accept a Spidermonkey (Mozilla) AST

## Compress options

- `defaults` (default: `true`) -- Pass `false` to disable most default
  enabled `compress` transforms. Useful when you only want to enable a few
  `compress` options while disabling the rest.

- `arrows` (default: `true`) -- Class and object literal methods are converted
  will also be converted to arrow expressions if the resultant code is shorter:
  `m(){return x}` becomes `m:()=>x`. To do this to regular ES5 functions which
  don't use `this` or `arguments`, see `unsafe_arrows`.

- `arguments` (default: `false`) -- replace `arguments[index]` with function
  parameter name whenever possible.

- `booleans` (default: `true`) -- various optimizations for boolean context,
  for example `!!a ? b : c → a ? b : c`

- `booleans_as_integers` (default: `false`) -- Turn booleans into 0 and 1, also
  makes comparisons with booleans use `==` and `!=` instead of `===` and `!==`.

- `collapse_vars` (default: `true`) -- Collapse single-use non-constant variables,
  side effects permitting.

- `comparisons` (default: `true`) -- apply certain optimizations to binary nodes,
  e.g. `!(a <= b) → a > b` (only when `unsafe_comps`), attempts to negate binary
  nodes, e.g. `a = !b && !c && !d && !e → a=!(b||c||d||e)` etc. Note: `comparisons`
  works best with `lhs_constants` enabled.

- `computed_props` (default: `true`) -- Transforms constant computed properties
  into regular ones: `{["computed"]: 1}` is converted to `{computed: 1}`.

- `conditionals` (default: `true`) -- apply optimizations for `if`-s and conditional
  expressions

- `dead_code` (default: `true`) -- remove unreachable code

- `directives` (default: `true`) -- remove redundant or non-standard directives

- `drop_console` (default: `false`) -- Pass `true` to discard calls to
  `console.*` functions. If you only want to discard a portion of console, 
   you can pass an array like this `['log', 'info']`, which will only discard `console.log`、 `console.info`.

- `drop_debugger` (default: `true`) -- remove `debugger;` statements

- `ecma` (default: `5`) -- Pass `2015` or greater to enable `compress` options that
  will transform ES5 code into smaller ES6+ equivalent forms.

- `evaluate` (default: `true`) -- attempt to evaluate constant expressions

- `expression` (default: `false`) -- Pass `true` to preserve completion values
  from terminal statements without `return`, e.g. in bookmarklets.

- `global_defs` (default: `{}`) -- see [conditional compilation](#conditional-compilation)

- `hoist_funs` (default: `false`) -- hoist function declarations

- `hoist_props` (default: `true`) -- hoist properties from constant object and
  array literals into regular variables subject to a set of constraints. For example:
  `var o={p:1, q:2}; f(o.p, o.q);` is converted to `f(1, 2);`. Note: `hoist_props`
  works best with `mangle` enabled, the `compress` option `passes` set to `2` or higher,
  and the `compress` option `toplevel` enabled.

- `hoist_vars` (default: `false`) -- hoist `var` declarations (this is `false`
  by default because it seems to increase the size of the output in general)

- `if_return` (default: `true`) -- optimizations for if/return and if/continue

- `inline` (default: `true`) -- inline calls to function with simple/`return` statement:
  - `false` -- same as `0`
  - `0` -- disabled inlining
  - `1` -- inline simple functions
  - `2` -- inline functions with arguments
  - `3` -- inline functions with arguments and variables
  - `true` -- same as `3`

- `join_vars` (default: `true`) -- join consecutive `var`, `let` and `const` statements

- `keep_classnames` (default: `false`) -- Pass `true` to prevent the compressor from
  discarding class names. Pass a regular expression to only keep class names matching
  that regex. See also: the `keep_classnames` [mangle option](#mangle-options).

- `keep_fargs` (default: `true`) -- Prevents the compressor from discarding unused
  function arguments.  You need this for code which relies on `Function.length`.

- `keep_fnames` (default: `false`) -- Pass `true` to prevent the
  compressor from discarding function names. Pass a regular expression to only keep
  function names matching that regex. Useful for code relying on `Function.prototype.name`.
  See also: the `keep_fnames` [mangle option](#mangle-options).

- `keep_infinity` (default: `false`) -- Pass `true` to prevent `Infinity` from
  being compressed into `1/0`, which may cause performance issues on Chrome.

- `lhs_constants` (default: `true`) -- Moves constant values to the left-hand side
  of binary nodes. `foo == 42 → 42 == foo`

- `loops` (default: `true`) -- optimizations for `do`, `while` and `for` loops
  when we can statically determine the condition.

- `module` (default `false`) -- Pass `true` when compressing an ES6 module. Strict
  mode is implied and the `toplevel` option as well.

- `negate_iife` (default: `true`) -- negate "Immediately-Called Function Expressions"
  where the return value is discarded, to avoid the parens that the
  code generator would insert.

- `passes` (default: `1`) -- The maximum number of times to run compress.
  In some cases more than one pass leads to further compressed code.  Keep in
  mind more passes will take more time.

- `properties` (default: `true`) -- rewrite property access using the dot notation, for
  example `foo["bar"] → foo.bar`

- `pure_funcs` (default: `null`) -- You can pass an array of names and
  Terser will assume that those functions do not produce side
  effects.  DANGER: will not check if the name is redefined in scope.
  An example case here, for instance `var q = Math.floor(a/b)`.  If
  variable `q` is not used elsewhere, Terser will drop it, but will
  still keep the `Math.floor(a/b)`, not knowing what it does.  You can
  pass `pure_funcs: [ 'Math.floor' ]` to let it know that this
  function won't produce any side effect, in which case the whole
  statement would get discarded.  The current implementation adds some
  overhead (compression will be slower).

- `pure_getters` (default: `"strict"`) -- If you pass `true` for
  this, Terser will assume that object property access
  (e.g. `foo.bar` or `foo["bar"]`) doesn't have any side effects.
  Specify `"strict"` to treat `foo.bar` as side-effect-free only when
  `foo` is certain to not throw, i.e. not `null` or `undefined`.

- `reduce_vars` (default: `true`) -- Improve optimization on variables assigned with and
  used as constant values.

- `reduce_funcs` (default: `true`) -- Inline single-use functions when
  possible. Depends on `reduce_vars` being enabled.  Disabling this option
  sometimes improves performance of the output code.

- `sequences` (default: `true`) -- join consecutive simple statements using the
  comma operator.  May be set to a positive integer to specify the maximum number
  of consecutive comma sequences that will be generated. If this option is set to
  `true` then the default `sequences` limit is `200`. Set option to `false` or `0`
  to disable. The smallest `sequences` length is `2`. A `sequences` value of `1`
  is grandfathered to be equivalent to `true` and as such means `200`. On rare
  occasions the default sequences limit leads to very slow compress times in which
  case a value of `20` or less is recommended.

- `side_effects` (default: `true`) -- Remove expressions which have no side effects
  and whose results aren't used.

- `switches` (default: `true`) -- de-duplicate and remove unreachable `switch` branches

- `toplevel` (default: `false`) -- drop unreferenced functions (`"funcs"`) and/or
  variables (`"vars"`) in the top level scope (`false` by default, `true` to drop
  both unreferenced functions and variables)

- `top_retain` (default: `null`) -- prevent specific toplevel functions and
  variables from `unused` removal (can be array, comma-separated, RegExp or
  function. Implies `toplevel`)

- `typeofs` (default: `true`) -- Transforms `typeof foo == "undefined"` into
  `foo === void 0`.  Note: recommend to set this value to `false` for IE10 and
  earlier versions due to known issues.

- `unsafe` (default: `false`) -- apply "unsafe" transformations
  ([details](#the-unsafe-compress-option)).

- `unsafe_arrows` (default: `false`) -- Convert ES5 style anonymous function
  expressions to arrow functions if the function body does not reference `this`.
  Note: it is not always safe to perform this conversion if code relies on the
  the function having a `prototype`, which arrow functions lack.
  This transform requires that the `ecma` compress option is set to `2015` or greater.

- `unsafe_comps` (default: `false`) -- Reverse `<` and `<=` to `>` and `>=` to
  allow improved compression. This might be unsafe when an at least one of two
  operands is an object with computed values due the use of methods like `get`,
  or `valueOf`. This could cause change in execution order after operands in the
  comparison are switching. Compression only works if both `comparisons` and
  `unsafe_comps` are both set to true.

- `unsafe_Function` (default: `false`) -- compress and mangle `Function(args, code)`
  when both `args` and `code` are string literals.

- `unsafe_math` (default: `false`) -- optimize numerical expressions like
  `2 * x * 3` into `6 * x`, which may give imprecise floating point results.

- `unsafe_symbols` (default: `false`) -- removes keys from native Symbol
  declarations, e.g `Symbol("kDog")` becomes `Symbol()`.

- `unsafe_methods` (default: false) -- Converts `{ m: function(){} }` to
  `{ m(){} }`. `ecma` must be set to `6` or greater to enable this transform.
  If `unsafe_methods` is a RegExp then key/value pairs with keys matching the
  RegExp will be converted to concise methods.
  Note: if enabled there is a risk of getting a "`<method name>` is not a
  constructor" TypeError should any code try to `new` the former function.

- `unsafe_proto` (default: `false`) -- optimize expressions like
  `Array.prototype.slice.call(a)` into `[].slice.call(a)`

- `unsafe_regexp` (default: `false`) -- enable substitutions of variables with
  `RegExp` values the same way as if they are constants.

- `unsafe_undefined` (default: `false`) -- substitute `void 0` if there is a
  variable named `undefined` in scope (variable name will be mangled, typically
  reduced to a single character)

- `unused` (default: `true`) -- drop unreferenced functions and variables (simple
  direct variable assignments do not count as references unless set to `"keep_assign"`)

## Mangle options

- `eval` (default `false`) -- Pass `true` to mangle names visible in scopes
  where `eval` or `with` are used.

- `keep_classnames` (default `false`) -- Pass `true` to not mangle class names.
  Pass a regular expression to only keep class names matching that regex.
  See also: the `keep_classnames` [compress option](#compress-options).

- `keep_fnames` (default `false`) -- Pass `true` to not mangle function names.
  Pass a regular expression to only keep function names matching that regex.
  Useful for code relying on `Function.prototype.name`. See also: the `keep_fnames`
  [compress option](#compress-options).

- `module` (default `false`) -- Pass `true` an ES6 modules, where the toplevel
  scope is not the global scope. Implies `toplevel`.

- `nth_identifier` (default: an internal mangler that weights based on character
  frequency analysis) -- Pass an object with a `get(n)` function that converts an
  ordinal into the nth most favored (usually shortest) identifier.
  Optionally also provide `reset()`, `sort()`, and `consider(chars, delta)` to
  use character frequency analysis of the source code.

- `reserved` (default `[]`) -- Pass an array of identifiers that should be
  excluded from mangling. Example: `["foo", "bar"]`.

- `toplevel` (default `false`) -- Pass `true` to mangle names declared in the
  top level scope.

- `safari10` (default `false`) -- Pass `true` to work around the Safari 10 loop
  iterator [bug](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171041)
  "Cannot declare a let variable twice".
  See also: the `safari10` [format option](#format-options).

Examples:

```javascript
// test.js
var globalVar;
function funcName(firstLongName, anotherLongName) {
    var myVariable = firstLongName +  anotherLongName;
}
```
```javascript
var code = fs.readFileSync("test.js", "utf8");

await minify(code).code;
// 'function funcName(a,n){}var globalVar;'

await minify(code, { mangle: { reserved: ['firstLongName'] } }).code;
// 'function funcName(firstLongName,a){}var globalVar;'

await minify(code, { mangle: { toplevel: true } }).code;
// 'function n(n,a){}var a;'
```

### Mangle properties options

- `builtins` (default: `false`) — Use `true` to allow the mangling of builtin
  DOM properties. Not recommended to override this setting.

- `debug` (default: `false`) — Mangle names with the original name still present.
  Pass an empty string `""` to enable, or a non-empty string to set the debug suffix.

- `keep_quoted` (default: `false`) — How quoting properties (`{"prop": ...}` and `obj["prop"]`) controls what gets mangled.
  - `"strict"` (recommended) -- `obj.prop` is mangled.
  - `false` -- `obj["prop"]` is mangled.
  - `true` -- `obj.prop` is mangled unless there is `obj["prop"]` elsewhere in the code.

- `nth_identifer` (default: an internal mangler that weights based on character
  frequency analysis) -- Pass an object with a `get(n)` function that converts an
  ordinal into the nth most favored (usually shortest) identifier.
  Optionally also provide `reset()`, `sort()`, and `consider(chars, delta)` to
  use character frequency analysis of the source code.

- `regex` (default: `null`) — Pass a [RegExp literal or pattern string](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp) to only mangle property matching the regular expression.

- `reserved` (default: `[]`) — Do not mangle property names listed in the
  `reserved` array.

- `undeclared` (default: `false`) - Mangle those names when they are accessed
  as properties of known top level variables but their declarations are never
  found in input code. May be useful when only minifying parts of a project.
  See [#397](https://github.com/terser/terser/issues/397) for more details.


## Format options

These options control the format of Terser's output code. Previously known
as "output options".

- `ascii_only` (default `false`) -- escape Unicode characters in strings and
  regexps (affects directives with non-ascii characters becoming invalid)

- `beautify` (default `false`) -- (DEPRECATED) whether to beautify the output.
  When using the legacy `-b` CLI flag, this is set to true by default.

- `braces` (default `false`) -- always insert braces in `if`, `for`,
  `do`, `while` or `with` statements, even if their body is a single
  statement.

- `comments` (default `"some"`) -- by default it keeps JSDoc-style comments
  that contain "@license", "@copyright", "@preserve" or start with `!`, pass `true`
  or `"all"` to preserve all comments, `false` to omit comments in the output,
  a regular expression string (e.g. `/^!/`) or a function.

- `ecma` (default `5`) -- set desired EcmaScript standard version for output.
  Set `ecma` to `2015` or greater to emit shorthand object properties - i.e.:
  `{a}` instead of `{a: a}`.  The `ecma` option will only change the output in
  direct control of the beautifier. Non-compatible features in your input will
  still be output as is. For example: an `ecma` setting of `5` will **not**
  convert modern code to ES5.

- `indent_level` (default `4`)

- `indent_start` (default `0`) -- prefix all lines by that many spaces

- `inline_script` (default `true`) -- escape HTML comments and the slash in
  occurrences of `</script>` in strings

- `keep_numbers` (default `false`) -- keep number literals as it was in original code
 (disables optimizations like converting `1000000` into `1e6`)

- `keep_quoted_props` (default `false`) -- when turned on, prevents stripping
  quotes from property names in object literals.

- `max_line_len` (default `false`) -- maximum line length (for minified code)

- `preamble` (default `null`) -- when passed it must be a string and
  it will be prepended to the output literally.  The source map will
  adjust for this text.  Can be used to insert a comment containing
  licensing information, for example.

- `quote_keys` (default `false`) -- pass `true` to quote all keys in literal
  objects

- `quote_style` (default `0`) -- preferred quote style for strings (affects
  quoted property names and directives as well):
  - `0` -- prefers double quotes, switches to single quotes when there are
    more double quotes in the string itself. `0` is best for gzip size.
  - `1` -- always use single quotes
  - `2` -- always use double quotes
  - `3` -- always use the original quotes

- `preserve_annotations` -- (default `false`) -- Preserve [Terser annotations](#annotations) in the output.

- `safari10` (default `false`) -- set this option to `true` to work around
  the [Safari 10/11 await bug](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176685).
  See also: the `safari10` [mangle option](#mangle-options).

- `semicolons` (default `true`) -- separate statements with semicolons.  If
  you pass `false` then whenever possible we will use a newline instead of a
  semicolon, leading to more readable output of minified code (size before
  gzip could be smaller; size after gzip insignificantly larger).

- `shebang` (default `true`) -- preserve shebang `#!` in preamble (bash scripts)

- `spidermonkey` (default `false`) -- produce a Spidermonkey (Mozilla) AST

- `webkit` (default `false`) -- enable workarounds for WebKit bugs.
  PhantomJS users should set this option to `true`.

- `wrap_iife` (default `false`) -- pass `true` to wrap immediately invoked
  function expressions. See
  [#640](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2/issues/640) for more details.

- `wrap_func_args` (default `true`) -- pass `false` if you do not want to wrap
  function expressions that are passed as arguments, in parenthesis. See
  [OptimizeJS](https://github.com/nolanlawson/optimize-js) for more details.

# Miscellaneous

<!-- MISCELLANEOUS:START -->

### Keeping copyright notices or other comments

You can pass `--comments` to retain certain comments in the output.  By
default it will keep comments starting with "!" and JSDoc-style comments that
contain "@preserve", "@copyright", "@license" or "@cc_on" (conditional compilation for IE).
You can pass `--comments all` to keep all the comments, or a valid JavaScript regexp to
keep only comments that match this regexp.  For example `--comments /^!/`
will keep comments like `/*! Copyright Notice */`.

Note, however, that there might be situations where comments are lost.  For
example:
```javascript
function f() {
    /** @preserve Foo Bar */
    function g() {
        // this function is never called
    }
    return something();
}
```

Even though it has "@preserve", the comment will be lost because the inner
function `g` (which is the AST node to which the comment is attached to) is
discarded by the compressor as not referenced.

The safest comments where to place copyright information (or other info that
needs to be kept in the output) are comments attached to toplevel nodes.

### The `unsafe` `compress` option

It enables some transformations that *might* break code logic in certain
contrived cases, but should be fine for most code.  It assumes that standard
built-in ECMAScript functions and classes have not been altered or replaced.
You might want to try it on your own code; it should reduce the minified size.
Some examples of the optimizations made when this option is enabled:

- `new Array(1, 2, 3)` or `Array(1, 2, 3)` → `[ 1, 2, 3 ]`
- `Array.from([1, 2, 3])` → `[1, 2, 3]`
- `new Object()` → `{}`
- `String(exp)` or `exp.toString()` → `"" + exp`
- `new Object/RegExp/Function/Error/Array (...)` → we discard the `new`
- `"foo bar".substr(4)` → `"bar"`

### Conditional compilation

You can use the `--define` (`-d`) switch in order to declare global
variables that Terser will assume to be constants (unless defined in
scope).  For example if you pass `--define DEBUG=false` then, coupled with
dead code removal Terser will discard the following from the output:
```javascript
if (DEBUG) {
    console.log("debug stuff");
}
```

You can specify nested constants in the form of `--define env.DEBUG=false`.

Another way of doing that is to declare your globals as constants in a
separate file and include it into the build.  For example you can have a
`build/defines.js` file with the following:
```javascript
var DEBUG = false;
var PRODUCTION = true;
// etc.
```

and build your code like this:

    terser build/defines.js js/foo.js js/bar.js... -c

Terser will notice the constants and, since they cannot be altered, it
will evaluate references to them to the value itself and drop unreachable
code as usual.  The build will contain the `const` declarations if you use
them. If you are targeting < ES6 environments which does not support `const`,
using `var` with `reduce_vars` (enabled by default) should suffice.

### Conditional compilation API

You can also use conditional compilation via the programmatic API. With the difference that the
property name is `global_defs` and is a compressor property:

```javascript
var result = await minify(fs.readFileSync("input.js", "utf8"), {
    compress: {
        dead_code: true,
        global_defs: {
            DEBUG: false
        }
    }
});
```

To replace an identifier with an arbitrary non-constant expression it is
necessary to prefix the `global_defs` key with `"@"` to instruct Terser
to parse the value as an expression:
```javascript
await minify("alert('hello');", {
    compress: {
        global_defs: {
            "@alert": "console.log"
        }
    }
}).code;
// returns: 'console.log("hello");'
```

Otherwise it would be replaced as string literal:
```javascript
await minify("alert('hello');", {
    compress: {
        global_defs: {
            "alert": "console.log"
        }
    }
}).code;
// returns: '"console.log"("hello");'
```

### Annotations

Annotations in Terser are a way to tell it to treat a certain function call differently. The following annotations are available:

 * `/*@__INLINE__*/` - forces a function to be inlined somewhere.
 * `/*@__NOINLINE__*/` - Makes sure the called function is not inlined into the call site.
 * `/*@__PURE__*/` - Marks a function call as pure. That means, it can safely be dropped.
 * `/*@__KEY__*/` - Marks a string literal as a property to also mangle it when mangling properties.
 * `/*@__MANGLE_PROP__*/` - Opts-in an object property (or class field) for mangling, when the property mangler is enabled.

You can use either a `@` sign at the start, or a `#`.

Here are some examples on how to use them:

```javascript
/*@__INLINE__*/
function_always_inlined_here()

/*#__NOINLINE__*/
function_cant_be_inlined_into_here()

const x = /*#__PURE__*/i_am_dropped_if_x_is_not_used()

function lookup(object, key) { return object[key]; }
lookup({ i_will_be_mangled_too: "bar" }, /*@__KEY__*/ "i_will_be_mangled_too");
```

### ESTree / SpiderMonkey AST

Terser has its own abstract syntax tree format; for
[practical reasons](http://lisperator.net/blog/uglifyjs-why-not-switching-to-spidermonkey-ast/)
we can't easily change to using the SpiderMonkey AST internally.  However,
Terser now has a converter which can import a SpiderMonkey AST.

For example [Acorn][acorn] is a super-fast parser that produces a
SpiderMonkey AST.  It has a small CLI utility that parses one file and dumps
the AST in JSON on the standard output.  To use Terser to mangle and
compress that:

    acorn file.js | terser -p spidermonkey -m -c

The `-p spidermonkey` option tells Terser that all input files are not
JavaScript, but JS code described in SpiderMonkey AST in JSON.  Therefore we
don't use our own parser in this case, but just transform that AST into our
internal AST.

`spidermonkey` is also available in `minify` as `parse` and `format` options to
accept and/or produce a spidermonkey AST.

### Use Acorn for parsing

More for fun, I added the `-p acorn` option which will use Acorn to do all
the parsing.  If you pass this option, Terser will `require("acorn")`.

Acorn is really fast (e.g. 250ms instead of 380ms on some 650K code), but
converting the SpiderMonkey tree that Acorn produces takes another 150ms so
in total it's a bit more than just using Terser's own parser.

### Terser Fast Minify Mode

It's not well known, but whitespace removal and symbol mangling accounts
for 95% of the size reduction in minified code for most JavaScript - not
elaborate code transforms. One can simply disable `compress` to speed up
Terser builds by 3 to 4 times.

| d3.js | size | gzip size | time (s) |
|   --- | ---: |      ---: |     ---: |
| original                                    | 451,131 | 108,733 |     - |
| terser@3.7.5 mangle=false, compress=false   | 316,600 |  85,245 |  0.82 |
| terser@3.7.5 mangle=true, compress=false    | 220,216 |  72,730 |  1.45 |
| terser@3.7.5 mangle=true, compress=true     | 212,046 |  70,954 |  5.87 |
| babili@0.1.4                                | 210,713 |  72,140 | 12.64 |
| babel-minify@0.4.3                          | 210,321 |  72,242 | 48.67 |
| babel-minify@0.5.0-alpha.01eac1c3           | 210,421 |  72,238 | 14.17 |

To enable fast minify mode from the CLI use:
```
terser file.js -m
```
To enable fast minify mode with the API use:
```js
await minify(code, { compress: false, mangle: true });
```

#### Source maps and debugging

Various `compress` transforms that simplify, rearrange, inline and remove code
are known to have an adverse effect on debugging with source maps. This is
expected as code is optimized and mappings are often simply not possible as
some code no longer exists. For highest fidelity in source map debugging
disable the `compress` option and just use `mangle`.

When debugging, make sure you enable the **"map scopes"** feature to map mangled variable names back to their original names.  
Without this, all variable values will be `undefined`. See https://github.com/terser/terser/issues/1367 for more details.

### Compiler assumptions

To allow for better optimizations, the compiler makes various assumptions:

- `.toString()` and `.valueOf()` don't have side effects, and for built-in
  objects they have not been overridden.
- `undefined`, `NaN` and `Infinity` have not been externally redefined.
- `arguments.callee`, `arguments.caller` and `Function.prototype.caller` are not used.
- The code doesn't expect the contents of `Function.prototype.toString()` or
  `Error.prototype.stack` to be anything in particular.
- Getting and setting properties on a plain object does not cause other side effects
  (using `.watch()` or `Proxy`).
- Object properties can be added, removed and modified (not prevented with
  `Object.defineProperty()`, `Object.defineProperties()`, `Object.freeze()`,
  `Object.preventExtensions()` or `Object.seal()`).
- `document.all` is not `== null`
- Assigning properties to a class doesn't have side effects and does not throw.

### Build Tools and Adaptors using Terser

https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended/terser

### Replacing `uglify-es` with `terser` in a project using `yarn`

A number of JS bundlers and uglify wrappers are still using buggy versions
of `uglify-es` and have not yet upgraded to `terser`. If you are using `yarn`
you can add the following alias to your project's `package.json` file:

```js
  "resolutions": {
    "uglify-es": "npm:terser"
  }
```

to use `terser` instead of `uglify-es` in all deeply nested dependencies
without changing any code.

Note: for this change to take effect you must run the following commands
to remove the existing `yarn` lock file and reinstall all packages:

```
$ rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock
$ yarn
```

# Reporting issues

<!-- REPORTING_ISSUES:START -->

## A minimal, reproducible example

You're expected to provide a [minimal reproducible example] of input code that will demonstrate your issue.

To get to this example, you can remove bits of your code and stop if your issue ceases to reproduce.

## Obtaining the source code given to Terser

Because users often don't control the call to `await minify()` or its arguments, Terser provides a `TERSER_DEBUG_DIR` environment variable to make terser output some debug logs.

These logs will contain the input code and options of each `minify()` call.

```bash
TERSER_DEBUG_DIR=/tmp/terser-log-dir command-that-uses-terser
ls /tmp/terser-log-dir
terser-debug-123456.log
```

If you're not sure how to set an environment variable on your shell (the above example works in bash), you can try using cross-env:

```
> npx cross-env TERSER_DEBUG_DIR=/path/to/logs command-that-uses-terser
```

## Stack traces

In the terser CLI we use [source-map-support](https://npmjs.com/source-map-support) to produce good error stacks. In your own app, you're expected to enable source-map-support (read their docs) to have nice stack traces that will help you write good issues.
