Simple Secure Server

A simple module to instantiate a secure ExpressJS server based on environment.

Installation

npm i simple-secure-server

Default Example

The following will launch an ExpressJS server, without SSL.

require('simple-secure-server')(app);

Secure Example

The following will launch both the default server as well as one with SSL.

require('simple-secure-server')(app, {
    secure: true
});

##More Examples You can also supply a callback method which gives you access to an error object (if applicable), the default server, and the secure server (if launched). This can be done with or without options provided.

require('simple-secure-server', app, [options, ] function (err, default, secure) {
    // ...
});

Configuration

The module accepts a configuration object as an optional second parameter.

require('simple-secure-server')(app, {
    ports: {
        default: 80
    }
});
