How To Create Express HTTPS Server With A Self-Signed Certificate is today’s leading topic. If we need start our node.js  server on node.js  then to be able to serve a site on HTTPS  from localhost you need to create a self-signed certificate. The self-signed certificate will be enough to establish a secure HTTPS connection, although browsers will complain that the certificate is self-signed and as such it’s not trusted. It is still great for development purposes. Let us say, if you are working with React Native  or other iOS  development then you need an API  point, and if the API point is served via HTTPs  then it will be straightforward otherwise it gets complicated to get the response from the server. I have found very painful while developing frontend and backend apps. So it can be beneficial in these scenarios.
