Description

Question:

How can I build my project with electron and hide the main.js file? and is it possible to also hide the files in the web folder (html, CSS and JavaScript files)?

Problem:

I am building my project with PyInstaller. The only way that I can run my code is when I use --add-data="main.js;." but the the issue is that the main.js file will not be binary (or hidden)

Code snippet(s):

python -m eel --add-data="main.js;." main.py web
