node.js - Code Protection?

Question

I want to use node.js in my next project, but my boss does not like that our competitors can read the source code.

Is there a way to protect the JavaScript code?

Answer 1

I have an idea. Protect a cpp or java application instead of js.

1. Wrap your code in an encryption format, and compile it as a utf-8 file resource.
2. Use your cpp or java application to upload the entire file to a linux pc or arm computer, make sure you have a strong password or close ssh port or disable the video port and browse the linux pc only by web.
3. There is a cpp program to decrypt the file in the linux pc.
4. Develop a webserver to controll your linux pc.

So this is much like a black box, the clients can do nothing to your code.
