A simple wrapper around the javascript-obfuscator npm pacakge that will include and produce complete code file structre.
A simple wrapper around the javascript-obfuscator npm pacakge that will include and produce complete code file structre.
Some kind of magical obfuscator package built from scratch. The main goal for this module is to provide the same file structre for your obfuscated code.
source -> src/server/server.js
compiled -> dist/server/server.js
This also works for multiple file layers such as src/**/**/**/**/*.js.
const Compile = require("./compiler");
const path = require("path");
const options = {
compact: true,
controlFlowFlattening: true,
controlFlowFlatteningThreshold: 1,
numbersToExpressions: true,
simplify: false,
stringArrayShuffle: true,
splitStrings: true,
stringArrayThreshold: 1,
};
Compile("files/**/**/**/*.js", "dist", "files", options);
Compile(src, dst, mainDirectory, options) => void
src -> Source directory for the JavaScript files > "src/**/**/*.js"
dst -> Destination directory for the JavaScript files > "dist"
mainDirectory -> Name of the main directory for the JavaScript files > default "src"
options -> These Options are for javascript-obfuscator npm package, you can find all the options available here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/javascript-obfuscator
Example of a simple Express app.
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
return res.status(200).send("Hello, World!");
});
app.listen(3000, () => "Express running on port 3000");
Produces the following.
const _0x34e9bb = _0x4cd0;
(function (_0x14af18, _0x500824) {
const _0x5d622a = _0x4cd0;
