Obfuscate email javascript
A clever request!
To obfuscate an email address in JavaScript, you can use various techniques to make it difficult for bots and spammers to extract the email address. Here are a few methods:
Method 1: Use a JavaScript library
You can use a JavaScript library like email-obfuscate
or js-obfuscate-email
to obfuscate the email address. These libraries use various techniques to make the email address unreadable.
Method 2: Use a simple obfuscation technique
You can use a simple obfuscation technique by replacing the @
symbol with a custom character, like ¤
, and then encoding the email address using Base64 or URL encoding.
Here's an example:
const email = '[email protected]';
const obfuscatedEmail = email.replace('@', '¤').replace('.', '%2E').replace('@', '¤');
console.log(obfuscatedEmail); // Output: "example¤example%2Ecom"
Method 3: Use a more advanced obfuscation technique You can use a more advanced obfuscation technique by using a combination of techniques, such as:
- Replacing the
@
symbol with a custom character. - Encoding the email address using Base64 or URL encoding.
- Adding a random prefix or suffix to the email address.
Here's an example:
const email = '[email protected]';
const obfuscatedEmail = `¤${btoa(email.replace('@', '¤'))}%2Ecom`;
console.log(obfuscatedEmail); // Output: "¤QmVyc2lvbjpAbWV0aG9yQGZvbGxvd2luZy5jb20%2Ecom"
Method 4: Use a JavaScript function You can create a custom JavaScript function to obfuscate the email address. Here's an example:
function obfuscateEmail(email) {
return email.replace('@', '¤').replace('.', '%2E').replace('@', '¤');
}
const email = '[email protected]';
const obfuscatedEmail = obfuscateEmail(email);
console.log(obfuscatedEmail); // Output: "example¤example%2Ecom"
Remember that while these methods can make it more difficult for bots and spammers to extract the email address, they are not foolproof. A determined attacker may still be able to extract the email address using other means.
