What are the best practices for using SSL with webpack-dev-server?

When using SSL with webpack-dev-server, it's important to ensure that your certificates are properly configured. You should use self-signed certificates for development and consider using a trusted certificate authority for production.

How do I create a self-signed certificate for local development?

You can create a self-signed certificate using OpenSSL. Run the command: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes.

Can I use HTTPS with hot module replacement?

Yes, you can use HTTPS with hot module replacement. Just ensure that your webpack-dev-server is configured to use SSL and that your browser trusts the self-signed certificate.

What should I do if my browser shows a security warning?

If you see a security warning, it's likely because the self-signed certificate is not trusted. You can usually bypass this warning by adding an exception in your browser.
