uglifyjs-lite is a zero-dependency JavaScript minifier that provides a browser-compatible version of UglifyJS v1.3.5. Version 2018.8.15 targets Node.js >=4.0 and includes a live web demo. It differs from modern UglifyJS (e.g., terser) by sticking to the older UglifyJS API and supporting both CommonJS and browser usage. The package is unmaintained and likely deprecated in favor of terser or newer UglifyJS versions.

uglifyjs

✓ var uglifyjs = require('uglifyjs-lite');

✗ import uglifyjs from 'uglifyjs-lite';

This package is not ESM; use require for Node.js or include the script in a browser.

Demonstrates basic minification using the old UglifyJS API.

var uglifyjs = require('uglifyjs-lite'); var minified = uglifyjs.minify('var x = 5;'); console.log(minified); // 'var x=5;'

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is unmaintained and uses an ancient UglifyJS version. Modern projects should use terser or uglify-js.

fix

Migrate to terser (npm install terser) and use import { minify } from 'terser';

affects: all

gotchaThe API differs from current UglifyJS/terser. The minify function returns a string, not an object with code.

fix

Use the correct API: var output = uglifyjs.minify(input); // returns string

affects: all

gotchaPackage has no TypeScript definitions. Using in TypeScript requires manual type declarations or @ts-ignore.

fix

Declare module in a .d.ts file: declare module 'uglifyjs-lite';

affects: all

breakingPackage versioning is irregular; version 2018.8.15 is the latest. No semantic versioning used.

fix

Pin exact version in package.json: "uglifyjs-lite": "2018.8.15"

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'uglifyjs-lite'

Package not installed or incorrect import path in ESM environment.

fix

Install with npm install uglifyjs-lite, and use require instead of import.

uglifyjs.minify is not a function

Importing the package incorrectly (e.g., as default import).

fix

Use const uglifyjs = require('uglifyjs-lite'); then uglifyjs.minify(...).

uglifyjs_lite is not defined

In browser, script include may not expose global.

fix

Use <script src="node_modules/uglifyjs-lite/index.js"></script> and access uglifyjs global.
