securing the source code in a node-webkit desktop application

Question

first things first , i have seen nwsnapshot. and its not helping.

i am building an inventory management system as a desktop app using node-webkit . the project being built is using compoundjs (mvc javascript library). which have a definite folder structure (you know mvc) and multiple javascript files inside them.

the problem is nwsnapshot allows the app to have only a single snapshot file but the logic of application is spread over all the folders in different javascript files.

so how do i secure my source code before shipping it to client? Or any other work-around Or smarter way (yes, i know about obfuscating).

Answer 1

You can use nodewebkit command called nwsnapshot to compile the javascript code into binary which will be loaded into the app without specifying any js file

nwsnapshot --extra-code application.js application.bin

in your package.json add this:

snapshot: 'application.bin'
