Description

When creating in-class activities, it’s helpful to be able to provide students with a fully working solution to use as a reference. However, we don’t want to hand over solution code.

An easy workaround is to obfuscate the solution code that’s provided to the students. There are online obfuscators available for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but why do all the repetitive work of pasting code into them? Let’s provide a built-in obfuscation function.
