How to remove comments?

[jeffrson]

Hi,

there is jsc.preserveAllComments - but what does it mean? What is removed, what isn't?

And how can I remove all comments without minifying? minify:{} removes comments, but minifies if/else (for example).

Thanks!

minify: { compress: false, mangle: false } will work I guess?

jsc.minify.formt can be used to control comment removing behavior

Thank you for this suggestion! This seems to behave the same as minify: {}

It changes code like this:

  return fs
        .readFile(configFilePath, 'utf8')
        .then((configRaw) => {
            if (configRaw.charCodeAt(0) === 0xfeff) {
                configRaw = configRaw.slice(1)
            }

            return parse(configRaw) as IConfiguration
        })
        .catch(() => undefined)

into

    return fs.readFile(configFilePath, 'utf8').then((configRaw)=>{
        if (configRaw.charCodeAt(0) === 0xfeff) {
            configRaw = configRaw.slice(1);
        }
        return parse(configRaw);
    }).catch(()=>undefined
    );

while tsc leaves it essentially like it is. The same for (this is a template, don't judge code usefulness ;-)):

  if (os.platform() === 'win32') {
        //
    } else if (os.platform() === 'linux') {
        //
    } else if (os.platform() === 'darwin') {
        //
    } else {
        //
    }

becomes

if (os.platform() === 'win32') {} else if (os.platform() === 'linux') {} else if (os.platform() === 'darwin') {} else {}

It would make it easier to compare with tsc if it looked the same.
