},
plugins: [
new CopyPlugin({
patterns: [
{
context: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
from: "./src/*.json",
},
],
}),
],
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [
// For webpack@5 you can use the `...` syntax to extend existing minimizers (i.e. `terser-webpack-plugin`), uncomment the next line
// `...`
new JsonMinimizerPlugin(),
],
},
};And run webpack via your preferred method.
