[SOLVED] Setting Node Server (https)

Setting Node Server (https)

I'm very new to node and have looked up how to simply set up a node server. I feel like I have it set up correctly but when I go to https://localhost:8080/ it says "Site can't be reached". Nothing is console logged either. I've gone through many similar questions but no solution has helped me yet. I ran npm init and npm install and here is my code:

var Express = require('express');
var Https = require('https');
var Fs = require('fs');

var app = Express();
var port = process.env.EXPRESS_PORT || 8080;
var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem')
};
console.log("helloo?");

express.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
  console.log("hi")
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end("hello world\n");
}).listen(8080);

Solution

There are many typos in the code, to make it working i had done the changes.

To Create a https server you have to make use of built-in node.js https module and create a https server by passing your certificates, as below

GoTo - https://localhost:8080/

Response:

{ message: "this is served in https" }

var express = require('express');
var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');

var app = express();
var port = process.env.EXPRESS_PORT || 8080;
var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem')
}
console.log("helloo?");

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.json({
        message: 'this is served in https'
    })
})

var secure = https.createServer(options, app); // for express

secure.listen(port, function() {
    console.log('localhost started on', port)
})

// for just node server request listener

/* https.createServer(options, (req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end('hello world\n');
}).listen(port); */
