  • webpack-obfuscator

    javascript-obfuscator plugin for Webpack

    • I guess the easiest to setup would be to use an obfuscator on the bundled code (what is in your dist folder). There are a bunch of them, like https://github.com/javascript-obfuscator/javascript-obfuscator

  • electron-bytenode-example

    A basic Hello World boilerplate using Webpack to convert Electron Javascript code to binary using Bytenode and the Bytenode Webpack Plugin

    • Have a look at bytenode.

  • javascript-obfuscator

    A powerful obfuscator for JavaScript and Node.js

    • What I ended up doing is having two build steps, one for renderer and other for the main process, in the main process build I use https://github.com/javascript-obfuscator/javascript-obfuscator. Works pretty fine.
