Comments are not stripped from compressed files

[necolas]

JavaScript comments are not removed from the built files and contribute to reported file size. I think comments should be stripped to provide realistic data that reflects what a production build would do.

I opened an issue against the size-plugin-core module as it looks like that is where the feature is missing - kuldeepkeshwar/size-plugin-core#8

This would likely have to be an option that is disabled by default, since it requires parsing the JS. That'll be slow, right now file files aren't even loaded into memory.

FWIW I use a fork of this action with a fork of the size plugin - necolas/compressed-size-plugin@082eb2c

Closing, as the better solution here would be to feed the intended output into this action. If you production builds strip comments, then do that and provide the result to compressed-size here.
