Generator-nodehttps NPM

generator-nodehttps

Yeoman generator for creating a locally hosted HTTPS site using Node.js.

There are many options for creating a locally hosted HTTP site, but HTTPS is another matter. This generator simplifies this.

Initially it will create the server.js for you and provide instructions on how to create a self-signed certificate and configure your development environment to trust the certificate.

In the future it will prompt you to provide the certificate & key for a commercially acquired certificate, or it will create & trust a self-signed certificate for you.
