# babel-plugin-minify-simplify > Simplifies code for minification by reducing statements into expressions and making expressions uniform where possible. ## Example ### Reduce statement into expression **In** ```js function foo() { if (x) a(); } function foo2() { if (x) a(); else b(); } ``` **Out** ```js function foo() { x && a(); } function foo2() { x ? a() : b(); } ``` ### Make expression as uniform as possible for better compressibility **In** ```js undefined foo['bar'] Number(foo) ``` **Out** ```js void 0 foo.bar +foo ``` ## Installation ```sh npm install babel-plugin-minify-simplify --save-dev ``` ## Usage ### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended) **.babelrc** ```json { "plugins": ["minify-simplify"] } ``` ### Via CLI ```sh babel --plugins minify-simplify script.js ``` ### Via Node API ```javascript require("@babel/core").transform("code", { plugins: ["minify-simplify"] }); ```
