use ssl with node js express code example
Example: express ssl
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'));
require('dotenv').config();
const https = require("https");
const http = require('http');
const express = require('express');
const { resolve } = require('path')
const { readFileSync } = require("fs");
const logger = require('morgan');
const chalk = require('chalk');
const app = express();
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.set('views', 'views');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('x-powered-by', false);
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render('index', {
desc: req.protocol === 'https'
? `Express using SSL certificate for using ${req.protocol} protocol`
: `Express using SSL certificate for using ${req.protocol} protocol`
})
});
http.createServer(app).listen(process.env.PORT, () => console.log(chalk.white.bold('http server on port 3000')));
if(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
const options = {
key: readFileSync(`${resolve(process.cwd(), 'ssl/key.pem')}`),
cert: readFileSync(`${resolve(process.cwd(), 'ssl/cert.pem')}`),
};
https.createServer(options, app).listen(3001, () => console.log(chalk.white.bold('https server on port 3001')));
}
console.log(chalk.white.bold(`NOTE: important this SSL for Development Mode not for Production Mode`));
console.log(chalk.white.bold(`NOTE: because this ssl certificate's signature was created manually`));
console.log(chalk.white.bold(`NOTE: SSL certificate is used to use authentication using Oauth or package like Passport for auth third part \n`));
