The closest approach to close sourcing I’ve seen is to obfuscate the code. Is there a better way since obfuscation doesn’t make reverse engineering impossible? In fact, is reverse engineering actually quite simple?

Because Javascript executes on the client computer (not the server) there’s not much you can do beyond obfuscation unfortunately. Unless you use AJAX and run the important bits of the code on a server somewhere then it’ll always be reverse engineerable.
