To enable the mangler you need to pass `--mangle` (`-m`). The following

- `toplevel` mangle names declared in the top level scope (disabled by
default).
- `toplevel` (default `false`) -- mangle names declared in the top level scope.
- `eval` mangle names visible in scopes where `eval` or `with` are used
(disabled by default).

## Parse options
- `bare_returns` (default `false`) -- support top level `return` statements
- `html5_comments` (default `true`)
- `shebang` (default `true`) -- support `#!command` as the first line
## Compress options
- `sequences` (default: true) -- join consecutive simple statements using the
comma operator. May be set to a positive integer to specify the maximum number
of consecutive comma sequences that will be generated. If this option is set to
`true` then the default `sequences` limit is `200`. Set option to `false` or `0`
to disable. The smallest `sequences` length is `2`. A `sequences` value of `1`
is grandfathered to be equivalent to `true` and as such means `200`. On rare
occasions the default sequences limit leads to very slow compress times in which
case a value of `20` or less is recommended.
- `booleans` (default: `true`) -- various optimizations for boolean context, for example `!!a
? b : c → a ? b : c`
- `properties` -- rewrite property access using the dot notation, for
example `foo["bar"] → foo.bar`
- `cascade` (default: `true`) -- small optimization for sequences, transform `x, x` into `x`
and `x = something(), x` into `x = something()`
- `dead_code` -- remove unreachable code
- `collapse_vars` (default: `true`) -- Collapse single-use non-constant variables - side
effects permitting.
- `drop_debugger` -- remove `debugger;` statements
- `unsafe` (default: false) -- apply "unsafe" transformations (discussion below)
- `unsafe_comps` (default: false) -- Reverse `<` and `<=` to `>` and `>=` to
allow improved compression. This might be unsafe when an at least one of two
operands is an object with computed values due the use of methods like `get`,
or `valueOf`. This could cause change in execution order after operands in the
comparison are switching. Compression only works if both `comparisons` and
`unsafe_comps` are both set to true.
- `unsafe_Func` (default: false) -- compress and mangle `Function(args, code)`
when both `args` and `code` are string literals.
- `unsafe_math` (default: false) -- optimize numerical expressions like
`2 * x * 3` into `6 * x`, which may give imprecise floating point results.
- `unsafe_proto` (default: false) -- optimize expressions like
`Array.prototype.slice.call(a)` into `[].slice.call(a)`
- `unsafe_regexp` (default: false) -- enable substitutions of variables with
`RegExp` values the same way as if they are constants.
- `conditionals` -- apply optimizations for `if`-s and conditional
expressions
- `comparisons` -- apply certain optimizations to binary nodes, for example:
- `comparisons` (default: `true`) -- apply certain optimizations to binary nodes, for example:
`!(a <= b) → a > b` (only when `unsafe_comps`), attempts to negate binary
nodes, e.g. `a = !b && !c && !d && !e → a=!(b||c||d||e)` etc.
- `evaluate` -- attempt to evaluate constant expressions
- `conditionals` (default: `true`) -- apply optimizations for `if`-s and conditional
expressions
- `booleans` -- various optimizations for boolean context, for example `!!a
? b : c → a ? b : c`
- `dead_code` (default: `true`) -- remove unreachable code
- `typeofs` -- default `true`. Transforms `typeof foo == "undefined"` into
`foo === void 0`. Note: recommend to set this value to `false` for IE10 and
earlier versions due to known issues.
- `drop_console` (default: `false`) -- default `false`. Pass `true` to discard calls to
`console.*` functions. If you wish to drop a specific function call
such as `console.info` and/or retain side effects from function arguments
after dropping the function call then use `pure_funcs` instead.
- `loops` -- optimizations for `do`, `while` and `for` loops when we can
statically determine the condition
- `drop_debugger` (default: `true`) -- remove `debugger;` statements
- `unused` -- drop unreferenced functions and variables (simple direct variable
assignments do not count as references unless set to `"keep_assign"`)
- `evaluate` (default: `true`) -- attempt to evaluate constant expressions
- `toplevel` -- drop unreferenced functions (`"funcs"`) and/or variables (`"vars"`)
in the top level scope (`false` by default, `true` to drop both unreferenced
functions and variables)
- `expression` (default: `false`) -- default `false`. Pass `true` to preserve completion values
from terminal statements without `return`, e.g. in bookmarklets.
- `top_retain` -- prevent specific toplevel functions and variables from `unused`
removal (can be array, comma-separated, RegExp or function. Implies `toplevel`)

- `hoist_vars` (default: false) -- hoist `var` declarations (this is `false`
- `hoist_vars` (default: `false`) -- hoist `var` declarations (this is `false`
by default because it seems to increase the size of the output in general)
- `if_return` -- optimizations for if/return and if/continue
- `if_return` (default: `true`) -- optimizations for if/return and if/continue
- `inline` -- embed simple functions
- `inline` (default: `true`) -- embed simple functions
- `join_vars` -- join consecutive `var` statements
- `join_vars` (default: `true`) -- join consecutive `var` statements
- `cascade` -- small optimization for sequences, transform `x, x` into `x`
and `x = something(), x` into `x = something()`
- `keep_fargs` (default: `true`) -- default `true`. Prevents the
compressor from discarding unused function arguments. You need this
for code which relies on `Function.length`.
- `collapse_vars` -- Collapse single-use non-constant variables - side
effects permitting.
- `keep_fnames` (default: `false`) -- default `false`. Pass `true` to prevent the
compressor from discarding function names. Useful for code relying on
`Function.prototype.name`. See also: the `keep_fnames` [mangle option](#mangle).
- `reduce_vars` -- Improve optimization on variables assigned with and
used as constant values.
- `keep_infinity` (default: `false`) -- default `false`. Pass `true` to prevent `Infinity` from
being compressed into `1/0`, which may cause performance issues on Chrome.
- `warnings` -- display warnings when dropping unreachable code or unused
declarations etc.
- `loops` (default: `true`) -- optimizations for `do`, `while` and `for` loops when we can
statically determine the condition
- `negate_iife` -- negate "Immediately-Called Function Expressions"
- `negate_iife` (default: `true`) -- negate "Immediately-Called Function Expressions"
where the return value is discarded, to avoid the parens that the
code generator would insert.
- `pure_getters` -- the default is `false`. If you pass `true` for
this, UglifyJS will assume that object property access

Specify `"strict"` to treat `foo.bar` as side-effect-free only when
`foo` is certain to not throw, i.e. not `null` or `undefined`.

mind more passes will take more time.
