What are some of the best ways to protect the email address from spam bot crawlers in next.js.

I've seen some libraries like react-email-obfuscator but it does not have typescript support.

What would be some alternative methods or solutions.
Answered by Clown
I personally use cloudflare as my DNS so email obsfuction works by default.

Other alternatives that dont depend on a provider can be found on the internet like:

(do know that using some or most of these would take away from the ability to click on an email and launch your email client)

Nope
From what i could see/gather it turns the email into some gibberish for the bots/initial render

do I have to switch my domain to cloudflare as a provider to use this?
Clown
Yes you need to use cloudflare domain from what i know. Thats why i gave the other options
There definitely are other providers like cisco and stuff but i have never used them
