git clone git@github.com:mathiasnovas/leet.js.git leet

The result:
I W4N7 70 347 5N4X 4ND B3 1337ZORZ!

the module into your script and use the convert
function to convert your text to 4W350M3 1337ZORZ!
leet = require('leet');
text = leet.convert('do you know where i left my cheese?');
console.log(text); // D0 Y0U KN0W WH3R3 I 13F7 MY CH3353ZORZ?
