This flag correspond to webpack’s mode parameter so it will run webpack in the production mode as described there before launching the development server.
So, if you do:
npx frontity dev --production
The webpack bundler internally will do things like..
- Enable certain webpack-specific optimizations and minify the code
- Also disable hot-module reloading (HMR)
- Not create source maps
- Append hashes to filenames so for caching purposes
Normally, you would always use the development server in development mode, but sometimes you may want to check that everything works in production mode, or check the bundle analyzer (the files at
/build/analyze
) for the production bundle.Create bundles with
es5
, module
or both
. Default target is both
.If detected, and no
