javascript-obfuscator plugin and loader for Webpack@5

Installation

This plugin requires Webpack@5. If you depend on Webpack@4, please use version 2 of the plugin.

Install the plugin with NPM and add it to your devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev javascript-obfuscator webpack-obfuscator

Plugin usage:

var WebpackObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');

// ...

// webpack plugins array
plugins: [
    new WebpackObfuscator ({
        rotateStringArray: true
    }, ['excluded_bundle_name.js'])
]

Loader usage:

Define a rule in your webpack config and use the obfuscator-loader as the last of your loaders for your modules. You can add the enforce: 'post' flag to ensure the loader will be called after normal loaders:

var WebpackObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');

// webpack loader rules array
rules: [
    {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: [ 
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'excluded_file_name.js') 
        ],
        enforce: 'post',
        use: { 
            loader: WebpackObfuscator.loader, 
            options: {
                rotateStringArray: true
            }
        }
    }
]

obfuscatorOptions

Type: Object Default: null

Options for javascript-obfuscator. Should be passed exactly like described on their page.

excludes (plugin only)

Type: Array or String Default: []

Bundle name is output file name after webpack compilation. With multiple webpack entries you can set bundle name in output object with aliases [name] or [id].

Syntax for excludes array is syntax for multimatch package. You can see examples on package page.

Few syntax examples: ['excluded_bundle_name.js', '**_bundle_name.js'] or 'excluded_bundle_name.js'

Example:

// webpack.config.js
'use strict';

const JavaScriptObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');

module.exports = {
    entry: {
        'abc': './test/input/index.js',
        'cde': './test/input/index1.js'
    },
    output: {
        path: 'dist',
        filename: '[name].js' // output: abc.js, cde.js
    },
    plugins: [
        new JavaScriptObfuscator({
            rotateStringArray: true
        }, ['abc.js'])
    ]
};

Can be used to bypass obfuscation of some files.
