how to protect my JS_SECRET_KEY ?

hi all i am using backendless for my angular js app and for that i used JS_SECRET_KEY ,

when i load my app on browser obviously it will load all js file on browser site so it is not secure .

so, i want to make it secure and want to hide JS_SECRET_KEY from public so how should i do?

Hi Bhavesh,

The secret key is not supposed to be secret, this is just a bad naming and it will be renamed to API key in version 4.

You should use permissions to secure your app.

You cannot make it totally secret, the only thing which might help a bit is to obfuscate your code.

As I said, you should not rely on making the secret key hard to find in order to secure your app. Set up correct permissions for users instead.
