I can confirm fix in webpack.config.ts

const prodConfig = function (mangle = true) {
    return {
        /**
         * Add additional plugins to the compiler.
         *
         * See: http://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#plugins
         */
        plugins: [
            /**
             * Plugin: UglifyJsPlugin
             * Description: Minimize all JavaScript output of chunks.
             * Loaders are switched into minimizing mode.
             *
             * See: https://webpack.github.io/docs/list-of-plugins.html#uglifyjsplugin
             */
            new uglifyJsPlugin({
                uglifyOptions: {
                    ecma: 6,
                    compress: false,
                    mangle: mangle,
                    comments: false

                }
            })
        ]
    };
};
