localhost https

Fix the following error when trying to run local server using https:

Steps

Install mkcert and generate key and cert

# Install mkcert
brew install mkcert

# Create local CA (certificate authority)
mkcert -install

# Generate key and certificate for localhost
mkcert localhost

Pass an object with key and cert when creating new server using https:

const options = {
  key: '<YOUR_KEY>',
  cert: '<YOUR_CERT>',
}

https.createServer(options, (req, res) => { ... })
