vite-plugin-mkcert

Vite plugin that uses mkcert to automatically generate and trust locally valid HTTPS certificates for Vite's dev server. Current stable version is v2.0.0 (2026-04-09). Release cadence is frequent with several minor/patch versions per year. Key differentiators: zero-config setup, automatic local IP hosts, support for mobile device trust instructions, and a built-in mkcert binary downloader. Since v1.17.12, it replaced axios with native fetch, removing a long-standing supply chain risk. v2.0.0 requires Node.js >= 22.19.0 and Vite >= 3. Compared to alternatives like @vitejs/plugin-basic-ssl, this plugin provides a proper local CA that works across browsers and avoids browser security warnings.
