https-dev

Adds self signed certificates to a https server to be used locally.

Extracted from webpack-dev-server.

Why

• Developing locally when integrating with third parties especially webhooks can require https
• Generating certificates is a pain
• Certificates clutter up the repository

Usage

https

const https = require('https');

const httpsDev = require('https-dev');

const ssl = httpsDev();

https.createServer(ssl, (req, res) => res.end('httpsDev')).listen(3000);

Express

const express = require('express');
const https = require('https');

const httpsDev = require('https-dev');

const ssl = httpsDev();

const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('httpsDev'));

https.createServer(ssl, app).listen(3000);
