Auto minify output Javascript file on elm make

Question

What's the best way that when you run

elm make Main.elm --output elm.js

The output Javascript file is already minified?

Answer 1

The elm make command cannot do this for you. However, you can simply run a minifier on the output.

Check out the optimization hint for examples: https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/master/hints/optimize.md

Also don't forget to add --optimize to elm make when building for production.
