Vue config for latest vue-cli-service to strip out/remove console statements in production environments

remove-console-statements-in-vue.md

But the solution’s not beautiful 🙈

There’s a bug with uglify-es, which requires using the following in your package.json to force dependencies to use this version:

"resolutions": {
  "uglify-es": "3.3.9"
},

But that will enable the following to work:

// vue.config.js
​
const UglifyJSPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin')
​
module.exports = {
 configureWebpack: config => {
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
   // mutate config for production...
   config.optimization.minimizer = [
    new UglifyJSPlugin({
     uglifyOptions: {
      compress: {
       drop_console: true,
      }
     }
    })
   ]
  }
 }
}


And voíla; no more `console.log` in production with the latest vue CLI service
