I am trying to deploy on Heroku, where I'm given the following error:
remote: Failed to minify the code from this file:
remote: ./node_modules/webhoseio/webhoseio.js:13
Upon inspecting this dependency, I found that it uses the ES5 'use strict'; declaration. How can I have Heroku compile this dependency?
EDIT: Package.json file

I resolved this by turning off minification in my Webpack config. Instead of using the CRA-preconfigured Webpack ES-Lint loader, I installed the HTML-Loader and set loader to that. Following, I set minimize to false. Here's how:
module: {
rules: [
{
use: [
{
options: {
formatter: eslintFormatter,
eslintPath: require.resolve('eslint'),
minimize: false,
},
loader: require.resolve('html-loader'),
},
],}}
