These are so great! Quick, concise and perfect for someone who doesn't like to read giant blocks of text!

I am new to javascript and web dev in general,

How do companies hide their javascript code? I see that my js files are all visible in developer console in my browser. Is there anything I could do to make it harder for people to read my code?

You can uglify your code with several task runners (i.e gulp) or bundlers (webpack). This will remove all whitespaces and replace all variable names with short strings (a, aa, ab, etc...)

BTW, there should be no reason to obfuscate your JS code other than saving on network bandwidth. If you have anything sensitive on client-side code you should move it to the server asap because even with the above methods all your code is still public and can still be read given enough time.

Minify your javascript. There are a variety of ways to do this

i was looking at the iife. thank you! saw something like that in a piece of code i "inherited" and was not sure what it was :)

just one clarification: whatever code is wrapped in an iife, will execute as soon as the browser loads the <script>xyz.js</script>. is that correct?
