[Webpack 2] Using --optimize-minimize argument with parallel-webpack

[softvar]

I tried but failed to minimize my files

parallel-webpack -p=1 --optimize-minimize --progress --colors --watch -- --env.mode=build

&

parallel-webpack -p=1 --progress --colors --watch -- --optimize-minimize --env.mode=build

Any solution?

We don't support most of the webpack related CLI arguments. You need to configure optimization as part of your webpack.config.js.

If we add support for some, we'd need to support all of them and would also have to ensure compatibility. For now we don't intend to support this option.

P.S.: Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.

As a crazy idea, would it be possible to add a generic parameter that added its values as parameters to webpack? Like this:

parallel-webpack -w "--optimize-minimize --progress --colors --watch -- --env.mode=build"

We're not actually calling the CLI interface but rather just use the programmatic API instead so we'd still need to parse and transform those options.
