SharePoint 2016 On Premise Dev using SharePoint Framework

Question

This is my first question in this forum ;)

I need to develop SharePoint 2016 On Premises solution in Visual Studio using the SharePoint Framework.

i did some RnD over it and found a nice articles on microsoft website but the problem is that articles are only guiding me to develop local solutions and sharepont online solutions using the SPFx.

Click here to check out SPFx

for this, i did all steps mentioned in the tutorial and in the videos e.g installing Node.js, NPM, Visual studio code and creating tenant in sharepoint online. also i have created a client side hello world webpart using type scripts etc.

it is working perfect but my question is how to develop SharePoint 2016 on premise solutions using the SharePoint Framework?

Thanks
