How to keep javascript / jquery functions private?

Question

I have all my javascript / jquery functions in a separate files, and need to prevent users from accessing this file. How can I do it ? Currently they can have a look at the source of the page and click on the following address to have access to this file.

My code is using the following line to have access to external functions on myfile.js file.

<script src="../myfiles/myfile.js"></script>

I do not want to deactivate double click on the page.

one way is that to restrict mouse right click and run your project in window also disable toolbar — shreyansh jogi

This is a really common question and in general it's impossible. If a user's browser can see a file, so can the user. You can read more here: stackoverflow.com/questions/2222355/how-to-hide-javascript-code — dcaswell

Why do you want to keep it private? If you simply don't want to show your code, you could obfuscation but it won't prevent somebody to understand your code. Just make it harder. — LaurentG

One way might be by using JS Encryption, so users reading your code won't be able to interpret it easily. Read more on http://javascript.about.com/library/blencrypt.htm
