## Usage

`@neutrinojs/babel-minify` can be consumed from the Neutrino API, middleware, or presets. Require this package
and plug it into Neutrino:

```js
// Using function middleware format
const minify = require('@neutrinojs/babel-minify');

// Use with default options
neutrino.use(minify);

// Usage showing overriding minification options
neutrino.use(minify, {
  minify: {},
  plugin: {}
});
```

```js
// Using object or array middleware format

// Use with default options
module.exports = {
  use: ['@neutrinojs/babel-minify']
};

// Usage showing overriding minification options
module.exports = {
  use: [
    ['@neutrinojs/babel-minify', {
      minify: {},
      plugin: {}
    }]
  ]
};
```

The `minify` and `plugin` properties map to the options defined by
[babel-minify-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/babel-minify-webpack-plugin#options).
