How to protect custom functions I have written in code?

[CHASEONHO]

You can use some of the features of Creo by using the web link.
However, the features we created here are in html format and run in the built-in browser.
In other words, it is shared with html files, and our effort is easily exposed to the outside world.
I think you need some other way to protect some of the features you created with these web links.

The first way to think about it is to create a toolkit. But this is a fee, and it seems difficult to learn.
The second way to think about it is to have these web links function as a ribbon with j-link.

The second method seems to be feasible.

Here is the question.
1. Can I create a Ribbon that can easily work with creo's specific features (create frequently used parameters) like web links via j-links? Can these generations protect code from the outside world?

2. Can I apply the code created with the web link directly as a ribbon? Is this how you can protect your code from the outside world?

thanks

best regards

There are several ways to protect you code:

Creo API offers task based libraries. You can code some functions in another creo api e.g. jlink and then just call this function using weblink.

Option 2 (in my opinion better) is to obfuscate you javascript code. There are severals obfuscators available free. For example http://dean.edwards.name/packer/

You can achieve this (note this is just simple example):

But remember anyway you try to hide or protect your code, it will be always able to be reverse engineered.
