I am developing a Vite-React webapp to be used by me only, and heres my simple build command in package.json: "build": "vite build --emptyOutDir --base=./".
It uses the Google Firebase libraries that contains several submodules wherein each has the exact same @license comment leading to 48 times the same repeated text contributing to 80% of my build since everything else I have gzipped anyway. Now I have no issue with manually, thankfully, and carefully adding all unique licenses wherever appropriate, but at first I wish to remove licenses during the build.
I realize the "@license" is probably the marker the minifier looks for, and I searched around but could not find a way to turn it off. Please advise. And Thanks!
The default minifier now is esbuild (https://vitejs.dev/config/build-options.html#build-minify).
Here is the new config that works:
export default defineConfig({
// ...
build: {
// ...
},
esbuild: { legalComments: 'none' },
})
