To minify a single CSS file with webpack, you can use the MiniCssExtractPlugin along with the OptimizeCssAssetsPlugin. Here's an example webpack configuration:
- Install the necessary plugins:
1
|
npm install mini-css-extract-plugin optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin --save-dev |
- Update your webpack configuration file (webpack.config.js):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 |
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
const OptimizeCssAssetsPlugin = require('optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: './src/styles.css',
output: {
filename: 'styles.min.css'
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /.css$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
'css-loader'
]
}
]
},
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: 'styles.min.css'
}),
new OptimizeCssAssetsPlugin()
]
};
|
- Run webpack to build the minified CSS file:
1
|
webpack --config webpack.config.js |
This will minify the CSS file specified in the entry point and output the minified version as "styles.min.css".
