I have added a comprehensive answer for webpack v4 with debug configuration

const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin')
var debug = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production";

.....
optimization: {
        minimizer: !debug ? [
            new UglifyJsPlugin({

                    // Compression specific options
                    uglifyOptions: {
                        // Eliminate comments
                        comments: false,

                        compress: {
                            // remove warnings
                                warnings: false,

                            // Drop console statements
                                drop_console: true
                        },
                    }

                })
            ]
            : []
    }

My scripts in package.json are like so:

"webpackDev": "npm run clean && export NODE_ENV=development && npx webpack",
"webpackProd": "npm run clean && export NODE_ENV=production && npx webpack -p"
