Define property prevents bundle from minifying

[pavel-krasnov]

Problem

Given the provided template, I run npm start and get a minified bundle under the dist folder.

• I add the following to replace values in the bundle:

new EsbuildPlugin({
  define: {
    'process.env.ENV': JSON.stringify('value'),
  },
}),

• I run npm start and get a not minified bundle under the dist folder.

It looks like using EsbuildPlugin to define values prevents minification no matter what.

Expected behavior

The bundle is minified when I use EsbuildPlugin with define.
