expressjs ssl code example

Example: express ssl

// create certificate g-ssl.config.js

var { writeFileSync } = require('fs');
var { resolve } = require('path')
var selfsigned = require('selfsigned');
var chalk = require('chalk');

var gssl = selfsigned.generate([{ name: 'commonName', value: 'localhost' }], {
	keySize: 2048,
	algorithm: 'sha256',
	days: 90,
	clientCertificateCN: 'localhost'
});

writeFileSync(resolve(process.cwd(), 'ssl/key.pem'), `${gssl.private}`, 'utf8');
writeFileSync(resolve(process.cwd(), 'ssl/cert.pem'), `${gssl.cert}`, 'utf8');

console.log(chalk.green.bold('Generate Certificate SSL Succeffuly'));

// app.js
