vue-cli build not using minified versions of libraries

I am trying to reduce the size of my SPA build, which gets build using vue-cli build. I am using Chart.js and after building the application, I ran webpack-bundle-analyzer and it shows Chart.js with it's full size, and not chart.min.js.

enter image description here

What I am expecting is that it would use /dist/chart.min.js. I am not understanding this correctly, or is it actually using the non-minified file?

I got around to having another look at this and this is simply because vue-chartjs needs chart.js as peer dependency and is thus not taking care of anything in my side of the build step.

The fix is to configure it accordingly in the webpack config:

        resolve: {
            alias: {
                'chart.js$': 'chart.js/dist/Chart.min.js',
            },
        },
