It will not be bulletproof but it’s still better than your source in plain.

The benefits are that electron is multi-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux), the cons are that your source code WILL be included, even though they offer a way to distribute your app inside an asar archive. while it will not compact and generate an executable for you, it CAN be used to distribute NodeJS apps since they offer a way to distribute applications.It uses the node.js compiler to compile code. The JavaScript text editor also supports taking input from the user and standard libraries. It now requires a licence for commercial products. The user friendly JavaScript online compiler that allows you to write JavaScript code and run it online. All experiments here are made with Node.js v0.12.7, which has been compiled. when I was trying to run an AngularJs application (requiring Node.js 6x) in an Node.js 12x env. js application using restify and put a little source of memory leak within it. The resulting executable is Windows ONLY (. I found the steps to compile on the node-gyp Readme.md.

Pkg will compile your project to native code, they also include assets AND a NodeJS installation (the system won’t need to install NodeJS to run the executable). been an issue with encoding AAC audio as most of the encoders have had a license making FFmpeg unredistributable if compiled with support for them.

For anyone stumbling upon this question, there are now two projects that create exes out of your node projects, Pkg and, they differ slightly:

Node js compile to exe
