The --no-mifiy flag works great, but when the code is minified, it would be awesome to have at least JavaScript files with a source map, so that debugging would become much easier.

TODO

Add a --source-map flag and save one in the destination folder without bothering with compression and the rest (at least as first implementation).

Hi, @WebReflection!

How to use this?

Thanks for this project !

I am doing a tool that build some files into a build folder and expose a import-map.json that is used to tell the browser to match some imports in the source code to the built files. See here for more information: https://github.com/nestarz/esdev

The thing is I can't use your tool with it because it doesn't use import maps like the browser do to resolve imports.

Do you think it can be added easily ? Or if there is a workaround to it ?

If you globally install ucompress, then you cannot require it, at least with git bash on Windows.
This is a nuance for any global package, not only ucompress.

To fix it : export NODE_PATH=$APPDATA/npm/node_modules

$ npm i -g ucompress

Just a reminder for casual developer as me, when you read README section As binary file, you use the command line and then you want using the dep for a quick snippet.

It'd be great to combine HTML literals minification within terser, but so far I couldn't find a way to combine both approaches into one (due source map).

Any hint/help appreciated.
