Cross-platform Desktop Application Development: Electron, Node, NW.js, and React

Source code protection

Unlike in native applications, our source code isn't compiled and is therefore open to everybody. If you have any commercial use of this fact in mind, it is unlikely to suit you. The least you can do is to obfuscate the source code, for example, using Jscrambler (https://jscrambler.com/en/). On the other hand, we can compile our sources into native code and load it with NW.js instead of JavaScript. For that, we need to separate JavaScript from the application bundle. Let's create the app folder and move everything except js there. The js folder will be moved into a newly created directory, src:

    .    ├── app    │   

└── assets    │       └── css    

│           ├── Base    │           └── 

Component    └── src        └── 

js            ├── Data            ├── 

Service            └── View
