Uglify js/json without concatenation (files/javascripts/joinTo) about terser-brunch HOT 4 CLOSED

This is more of a general brunch question that something specific to this plugin, but the answer is to set a joinTo that is specific to the file you want to exclude from concatenation:

joinTo:
  'specialFile.js': 'path/to/sourceOf/specialFile.js'

You also have to make sure it is excluded from your other joinTo values, or you'll end up having it in more than one place.

Thanks for the quick reply. My goal is to uglify a bunch of json files, but it seems that Brunch skips these (*.json) on purpose. You are right that this is more a general Brunch question, but as your package does uglification, I thought you might have some expertise ;)

Brunch isn't the best tool for the purpose you're describing as it is geared toward building whole web applications in an opinionated way.

Other task runner type systems out there (grunt or gulp, for instance) I think would provide a better option for what you're trying to do.
