This is a refactored Office-Addin-dev-certs. This package can be used to manage certificates for nodejs development server using any hostname.
The goal of the refactoring is to extend API, adding hostnames parameter to getHttpsServerOptions method.
npm install @erboladaiorg/et-placeat
Upon installation a development CA certicate and localhost key and
certificate will be generated inside <userhome>/.office-addin-dev-certs.
The certificate is valid for 30 days by default.
Creates an SSL certificate for "localhost" signed by a developer CA certificate and installs the developer CA certificate so that the certificates are trusted. If the certificates were installed but are no longer valid, they will be replaced with valid certificates.

Options:
--machine

Uninstall the certificate.
Syntax:
office-addin-dev-certs uninstall [options]
