Remove HTML comments from production build

[MartinMalinda]

It seems like Vite 1.0 removed HTML comments from the build and the default behavior changed to preserve the comments by default.

Is there a way to set it back to previous behavior? I have mostly notes to myself and other todo-like notes that I'd wish not to be included in the production build:)). I can imagine the build being tiny bit smaller too.

Maybe I can set this to false somewhere in the config?

vite/packages/vite/types/terser.d.ts

html5_comments?: boolean

I am trying

  build: {
    terserOptions: {
      parse: {
        html5_comments: false,
      }
    }
  }

But that's probably not what I'm looking for

Maybe you can try this simple plugin https://github.com/vbenjs/vite-plugin-html

@anncwb that would probably remove HTML comments from the index.html file, but not from component templates, right? Those get compiled into JS.

@MartinMalinda Sorry, I got it wrong. This plugin may not suit your needs

You are referring to comments in Vue templates, right?
