Update uglifyjs-webpack-plugin to support prod builds with es6 target or higher #248

Closed

Description

@thetric

The react-scripts package uses the UglifyJsPlugin version distributed by webpack (webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin) which is quite old and doesn't support the minification of ES6 code (see here).
Since version 1.0.0 the plugin (now under a separate repo) uses a new uglify version that supports ES6 minification. Similar projects like angular-cli are already using it (angular/angular-cli#7610) or are planning to use it (create-react-app in 2.0.0) .

Simply replacing the old plugin with the new one would actually resolve #158 and #21 and bring ES6 prod builds! 🚀
