Unable to remove comments in CSS and/or JS during compiling

Description:

Unable to remove comments in CSS and/or JS during compiling. The only way is to manually edit webpack.config.js to add the parameters:

{ comments: false }

However, webpack.config.js is inside the node_modules directory, so the changes will not be pushed to git.

Steps To Reproduce:

Just run any npm run <script> and comments are not removed.

If you want to remove all comments add this to your mix options (laravel-mix: 4)

mix.options({
        cssNano: {
            discardComments: {
                removeAll: true,
            },
        },
    })

P.S. @ruchern this comments not removed because starts with *!, see docs

@ruchern To anyone that needs a solution to this. You can provide custom options to the webpack modules in webpack.mix.js, the original options are displayed in /node_modules/laravel-mix/src/Options.js

In laravel 5.4 i provided additional config option like below and all comments were stripped from my minified code, js and css alike.

mix.options({
    postCss: [
        require('postcss-discard-comments')({
            removeAll: true
        })
    ],
    uglify: {
        comments: false
    }
})

You do need the postcss-discard-comments module for this.

I think in the current version of laravel-mix it is done like this (not tested):

mix.options({
    postCss: [
        require('postcss-discard-comments')({
            removeAll: true
        })
    ],
    uglify: {
        uglifyOptions: {
            comments: false
        },
    }
})
