@afterpack/nuxt

A Nuxt 3 module that obfuscates your production JavaScript, using the AfterPack JavaScript obfuscator.

Install

npm install --save-dev @afterpack/nuxt

Usage

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ["@afterpack/nuxt"],
  afterpack: {
    seed: "git",
  },
});

The module adds AfterPack to Nuxt's Vite build, so every JavaScript chunk is obfuscated before it is written. That covers the client bundle of a server-rendered app and the prerendered output of nuxt generate in .output/public/_nuxt/. A failed run fails the build.

Options under the afterpack key are the same as @afterpack/vite.

The options you are most likely to set are preset, complexity, seed, identifiers.reserved for names that must stay as they are, paths.exclude for files to leave alone, and build.autorun to turn AfterPack off. Every other option is in the configuration reference. Options can also live in afterpack.json or in AFTERPACK_* environment variables.

Nuxt 2 builds with webpack. Use @afterpack/webpack there.

Pro

Without a key, AfterPack runs on your machine with the full pipeline at any preset. Set AFTERPACK_KEY in your environment and the same module builds in AfterPack's cloud instead, which adds per-region directives and two hardening transforms you can turn on: self-integrity (anti-tamper) and comparison hardening. Keep the key out of nuxt.config.ts. See AfterPack Pro.
