import { systemCertsSync, systemCertsAsync } from 'system-ca';
console.log(systemCertsSync())
console.log(await systemCertsAsync())
tls.connect({
host: 'google.com',
port: 443,
ca: await systemCertsAsync({ includeNodeCertificates: true })
})

functions perform the same
operation, namely, listing all trusted certificates as an array of PEM-formatted
X.509 certificates.
The result can be passed directly to the ca
option of tls.connect()
and similar methods.
systemCertsAsync()
may be preferable, because accessing the
system store can be slow, especially on Windows.systemCertsAsync()
