How to enable HTTPS in Node js REST API

• For HTTPS Enable we need to install https from npm package :

use the following command [  npm i htps –save  ]

• For Free SSL Certificate need to create selfsigned.key and selfsigned.crt files. Go to Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate

var fs = require('fs');
var http = require('http');
var https = require('https');
var privateKey  = fs.readFileSync('sslcert/server.key', 'utf8');
var certificate = fs.readFileSync('sslcert/server.crt', 'utf8');

var credentials = {key: privateKey, cert: certificate};
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

// your express configuration here

var httpServer = http.createServer(app);
var httpsServer = https.createServer(credentials, app);

httpServer.listen(8080);
httpsServer.listen(8443);
