TypeScript files are not minified during build (gatsby-plugin-typescript)

[tomazy]

When running npm run build all typescript files are converted into non-minified javascript files in the public folder.

Example based on Gatsby default starter: https://github.com/tomazy/gatsby-site-typescript-issue (see the public folder)

Environment:

• gatsby@1.9.119
• node v8.2.1
• macOS Sierra 10.12.6

gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    title: `Gatsby Default Starter`,
  },
  plugins: [
    `gatsby-plugin-react-helmet`,
    `gatsby-plugin-typescript`,
  ],

Check out #3369

After update to gatsby@1.9.175 minification works for me fine. So yea, looks like fixes in #3369 helped.

I've just tried with the above mentioned project.
I upgraded all the packages first (yarn upgrade).
Then I ran npm run build and I got following error:

error Generating JavaScript bundles failed


  Error: component---src-layouts-index-tsx-f35f261d51b686413c6f.js from UglifyJs
  SyntaxError: Unexpected token: punc ()) [./src/layouts/index.tsx:8,21]

Hm.. it might be issue with tsconfig.

For me it's working fine with:

"module": "commonjs",
"target": "esnext",

My fault - I updated gatsby but not gatsby-plugin-typescript.

Confirming that it works as expected with

• gatsby 1.9.175
• gatsby-plugin-typescript 1.4.15
