const UglifyJS = require("uglify-js");
This piece of code imports the uglify-js library and assigns it to a variable.
If you encounter the error message require is undefined
, it could be due to missing the inclusion of requirejs
in your project setup.
To fix this, install requirejs
using npm in your project directory:
$ npm install --save bower-requirejs

Important Note:
UglifyJS serves as a JavaScript parser, minifier, compressor, or beautifier toolkit.
It is not intended for minifying strings.
Below is a basic example demonstrating the use of javascript
code with UglifyJS, not plain strings.
const result = UglifyJS.minify("var b = function () {};", {fromString: true});
