Can we add drop_console to webpack.config.prod.js ?

[iinsta]

Is this a bug report?

No. This is a feature request. if we can add drop_console to webpack.config.prod.js#L288-L296 here, and add a .env field like DROP_CONSOLE=true to toggle this feature, default is false. Then it's more flexible.

I don't think this is necessary. If you really want to conditionally output come console statements, put them into conditions:

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
  console.log('...');
}

It would be nice if console.debug was stripped in prod w/o having to wrap in an if check.

Try creating a log class that wraps console API. Then include the env check to automagically skip logging if prod. There are also logging modules that can do this too.
