Create a fresh choo application. Because starting a new project should take minutes, not days.
$ npx create-choo-app <project-directory>
When you first open up your application in a browser, you'll probably see a warning page about HTTPS connections being untrusted. No worries, this is entirely expected behavior. Follow the instructions below to solve this for your browser.
localhost, we must sign a TLS certificate
locally. This is better known as a "self-signed certificate". Browsers
actively check for certificates from unknown providers, and warn you (for good
reason!) In our case, however, it's safe to ignore.
HTTPS is needed for an increasing amount of APIs to work in the browser. For example if you want to test HTTP/2 connections or use parts of the storage API, you have no choice but to use an HTTPS connection on localhost. That's why we try and make this work as efficiently, and securely as possible.
We generate a unique certificate for each Bankai installation at
~/.config/bankai. This means that you'll only need to trust an
HTTPS certificate for Bankai once. This should be secure from remote
attackers, because unless they have successfully acquired access to your
machine's filesystem, they won't be able to replicate the certificate.
A wild security screen appears!. Click on "advanced".
