How to run NUXT (npm run dev) with HTTPS in localh

问题:

EDIT: Updated the text in general to keep it shorter and more concise.

I am trying to configure HTTPS when I run npm run dev so I can test MediaStream and alike locally (for which browsers require me to provide HTTPS).

I am trying to configure it through nuxt.config.js but without any success.

Here is my nuxt.config.js file:

import fs from "fs";
import pkg from "./package";

export default {
  mode: "spa",

  /*
  ** Headers of the page
  */
  head: {
    title: pkg.name,
    meta: [
      { charset: "utf-8" },
      { name: "viewport", content: "width=device-width, initial-scale=1" },
      { hid: "description", name: "description", content: pkg.description },
    ],
    link: [
      { rel: "icon", type: "image/x-icon", href: "/favicon.ico" },
    ],
  },

  /*
  ** Customize the progress-bar color
  */
  loading: { color: "#fff" },

  /*
  ** Global CSS
  */
  css: [
    "element-ui/lib/theme-chalk/index.css",
    "@makay/flexbox/flexbox.min.css",
  ],

  /*
  ** Plugins to load before mounting the App
  */
  plugins: [
    "@/plugins/element-ui",
    "@/plugins/vue-upload",
    "@/plugins/axios-error-event-emitter",
    "@/plugins/eventemitter2",
    "@/plugins/vue-awesome",
    "@/plugins/webrtc-adapter",
    "@/plugins/vue-browser-detect-plugin",
  ],

  /*
  ** Nuxt.js modules
  */
  modules: [
    // Doc: https://axios.nuxtjs.org/usage
    "@nuxtjs/axios",
    "@nuxtjs/pwa",
  ],
  /*
  ** Axios module configuration
  */
  axios: {
    // See https://github.com/nuxt-community/axios-module#options
    baseURL: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production" ? "https://startupsportugal.com/api/v1" : "http://localhost:8080/v1",
  },

  /*
  ** Build configuration
  */
  build: {
    transpile: [/^element-ui/, /^vue-awesome/],

    filenames: {
      app: ({ isDev }) => (isDev ? "[name].[hash].js" : "[chunkhash].js"),
      chunk: ({ isDev }) => (isDev ? "[name].[hash].js" : "[chunkhash].js"),
    },

    /*
    ** You can extend webpack config here
    */
    extend(config, ctx) {
      // Run ESLint on save

      if (ctx.isClient) config.devtool = "#source-map";

      if (ctx.isDev) {
        config.devServer = {
          https: {
            key: fs.readFileSync("server.key"),
            cert: fs.readFileSync("server.crt"),
            ca: fs.readFileSync("ca.pem"),
          },
        };
      }

      if (ctx.isDev && ctx.isClient) {
        config.module.rules.push({
          enforce: "pre",
          test: /\.(js|vue)$/,
          loader: "eslint-loader",
          exclude: /(node_modules)/,
        });
      }
    },
  },
};

Also, here you can see my dependencies in package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "@makay/flexbox": "^3.0.0",
    "@nuxtjs/axios": "^5.3.6",
    "@nuxtjs/pwa": "^2.6.0",
    "cross-env": "^5.2.0",
    "element-ui": "^2.4.11",
    "eventemitter2": "^5.0.1",
    "lodash": "^4.17.11",
    "nuxt": "^2.8.0",
    "pug": "^2.0.3",
    "pug-plain-loader": "^1.0.0",
    "quagga": "^0.12.1",
    "stylus": "^0.54.5",
    "stylus-loader": "^3.0.2",
    "vue-awesome": "^3.5.3",
    "vue-browser-detect-plugin": "^0.1.2",
    "vue-upload-component": "^2.8.20",
    "webrtc-adapter": "^7.2.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@nuxtjs/eslint-config": "^0.0.1",
    "babel-eslint": "^10.0.1",
    "eslint": "^5.15.1",
    "eslint-config-airbnb-base": "^13.1.0",
    "eslint-config-standard": ">=12.0.0",
    "eslint-import-resolver-webpack": "^0.11.1",
    "eslint-loader": "^2.1.2",
    "eslint-plugin-import": ">=2.16.0",
    "eslint-plugin-jest": ">=22.3.0",
    "eslint-plugin-node": ">=8.0.1",
    "eslint-plugin-nuxt": ">=0.4.2",
    "eslint-plugin-promise": ">=4.0.1",
    "eslint-plugin-standard": ">=4.0.0",
    "eslint-plugin-vue": "^5.2.2",
    "nodemon": "^1.18.9"
  }

However when I run npm run dev it still does not provide HTTPS, but does not provide any error output as well...

The output is exactly the same as if I didn't have the HTTPS configurations in nuxt.config.js:

$ npm run dev

> nuxt --hostname 0.0.0.0 --port 3000

HTTPS on local dev - NUXT style

Solution is described in NUXT documentation:

https://nuxtjs.org/api/configuration-server/#example-using-https-configuration

This may be achieved with:

1. Go to project main dir;
2. Create private and public key;

openssl genrsa 2048 > server.key
chmod 400 server.key
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 365 -key server.key -out server.crt

3. Add requirements to the top of the nuxt.config.js;

import path from 'path'
import fs from 'fs'

4. Extend or add configuration of server in nuxt.config.js;

server: {
  https: {
    key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'server.key')),
    cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'server.crt'))
  }
}

回答2:

You must follow the doc spec here https://nuxtjs.org/api/configuration-server/#example-using-https-configuration, BUT you must add code in the server/index.js file, otherwise it won’t work at all.

So in the server/index.js add const https = require('https') at the top and replace :

app.listen(port, host)
  consola.ready({
    message: `Server listening on http://${host}:${port}`,
    badge: true
  })

With

https.createServer(nuxt.options.server.https, app).listen(port, host);

And now it’s working!
