Minify JS build code

I am building my nuxt app but the js is not minified, exposing the contents of all API route handlers. Is there a way to minify this?

Hi @cybercoder-naj. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To address your question about minifying JavaScript build code in Nuxt, I can provide some relevant information based on the knowledge sources. By default, Nuxt should minify your JavaScript code during the production build process. However, if you're experiencing issues with unminified code, you can try the following approaches: 1. Ensure you're running a production build: Make sure you're using nuxi build (for Nuxt 3) or nuxt build (for Nuxt 2) to create a production build, rather than running in development mode. 2. Check your webpack configuration: In your nuxt.config.js or nuxt.config.ts file, you can explicitly set the minimize option to true under the webpack configuration:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     webpack: {
       optimization: {
         minimize: true
       }
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     webpack: {
       optimization: {
         minimize: true
       }
     }
   })

This setting is mentioned in the Nuxt Configuration documentation. 3. Verify your build settings: Make sure that your build process is not overriding the default minification settings. Check your nuxt.config.js or nuxt.config.ts file for any custom build configurations that might be interfering with the minification process. 4. Use the production preset: If you're deploying to a Node.js environment, you can explicitly set the Nitro preset to node-server in your Nuxt configuration:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     nitro: {
       preset: 'node-server'
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     nitro: {
       preset: 'node-server'
     }
   })

This is mentioned in the Nuxt deployment documentation. 5. Check for conflicting modules or plugins: Ensure that you don't have any modules or plugins installed that might be interfering with the minification process. If you've tried these steps and are still experiencing issues with unminified JavaScript, it might be helpful to review your entire Nuxt configuration and build process. The problem could be related to a specific setting or a combination of factors not covered in the provided knowledge sources. Remember that while minification can help obfuscate your code, it's not a foolproof security measure. For sensitive operations or API handlers, it's best to implement proper security measures on the server-side rather than relying solely on client-side obfuscation. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
