Serve Fresh over HTTPS locally

How can I serve Fresh over HTTPS locally? In node I might generate certs and do

https.createServer({
  key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'certs/localhost.key'), 'utf8').toString(),
  cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'certs/localhost.crt'), 'utf8').toString(),
}).listen(8000)

https.createServer({
  key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'certs/localhost.key'), 'utf8').toString(),
  cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'certs/localhost.crt'), 'utf8').toString(),
}).listen(8000)

What would the equivalent be for Fresh?

Thanks in advance!

In case anyone else runs into this, my workaround was to update my

main.ts

main.ts

file to conditionally call

serveTls

serveTls

like so

I highly recommend mkcert as the easiest way to create certs for localhost... https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert
