npm i koa-force-https

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
port	Integer		HTTPS port (port :443 is automatically removed from the URL)
hostname	String	same host	Hostname for redirect
httpStatusCode	Integer	301	HTTP status code for redirect

Usage

const Koa = require('koa');
const forceHTTPS = require('koa-force-https');

const app = new Koa();

app.use(forceHTTPS());

Examples

Redirect requests from http to https

const fs = require('fs');
const http = require('http');
const https = require('https');
const Koa = require('koa');
const forceHTTPS = require('koa-force-https');

const options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('ssl-certificate.key'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('ssl-certificate.crt')
}

const app = new Koa();

app.use(forceHTTPS());

app.use((ctx) => {
  ctx.body = 'Hello! This is an HTTPS connection.';
});

// Runs 2 servers for the application
// Requests from the HTTP server will be redirected to the HTTPS server
http.createServer(app.callback()).listen(80);
https.createServer(options, app.callback()).listen(443);

Some results requests for this example

Request URL	Status Code	Location
http://example.com	301	https://example.com/

const http = require('http');
const http2 = require('http2');
const Koa = require('koa');
const forceHTTPS = require('koa-force-https');

const options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('ssl-certificate.key'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('ssl-certificate.crt')
}

const app = new Koa();

app.use(forceHTTPS(undefined, 'example.com', 307));

app.use((ctx) => {
  ctx.body = 'Hello! This is an HTTPS connection using HTTP/2 protocol.';
});

http.createServer(app.callback()).listen(80);
http2.createSecureServer(options, app.callback()).listen(443);
