How do you restrict access to your nodejs based backend source code if you have to deploy it on a client's environment or where people other than you may have admin access to the server?

Since nodejs code cannot be compiled/built like languages like c# (.net) etc and the files need to placed as is on the server, anyone who can access the project folder can basically read all your code, use it themselves in other projects, make changes to it without your knowledge.Say you had a product which can be used by a client but he wants it to be installed and accessible only on his intranet and you basically don't have full authority over the server, what would you to keep your nodejs based code from being accessed by them as you cannot compile the source code like you can in .net based projects.
