How to run npm serve with https?

@brandy 

To run npm serve with https, you can generate a self-signed SSL certificate and configure the serve command to use it. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Generate a self-signed SSL certificate: You can use tools like OpenSSL to generate a self-signed SSL certificate. Run the following command in your terminal:

1

openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.cert

This command will generate a private key file (server.key) and a certificate file (server.cert).

1. Update your serve script in package.json: You'll need to update the serve script in your package.json file to add the arguments for https. Modify the script like this:

1
2
3

"scripts": {
  "serve": "serve -s build -l 3000 --ssl-cert server.cert --ssl-key server.key"
}

This configuration tells the serve command to serve the build folder over HTTPS using the SSL certificate and key files you generated.

1. Run the serve command: You can now run the serve command with HTTPS by running:

1

npm run serve

Your application should now be running with HTTPS enabled.

Please note that using a self-signed SSL certificate may generate security warnings in the browser. For production applications, it's recommended to use a valid SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority.
