I was wondering if anyone knows how to use https on dev for the 'create-react-app' environment. I can't see anything about that in the README or quick googling. I just want either the https://localhost:3000 to work, or else https://localhost:3001.
Set HTTPS=true before you run the start command.
The implementation uses the HTTPS Environment Variable to determine which protocol to use when starting the server.
You can edit your package.json scripts section to read:
"scripts": {
"start": "set HTTPS=true&&react-scripts start",
...
}
or just run set HTTPS=true&&npm start
Just a sidenote, for me, making this change breaks hot reloading for some reason....
-- Note: OS === Windows 10 64-Bit
You can also create a file called .env in the root of your project, then write
HTTPS=true
After that, just run "npm start" as you usually do to start your app.

Works both on Linux and Windows, unlike some other answers posted here.
