const {code, map} = minify("input code", {
  mangle: {
    keepClassName: true
  }
});
```

### CLI

```sh
minify input.js --out-file input.min.js --mangle.keepClassName
```

## Node API

const minify = require("babel-minify");

minify(input, minifyOptions, overrides)
```

Refer the corresponding plugins to know the list of options it takes
