Learn CORS In 6 Minutes

CORS, also known as Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, is something every web developer has to deal with at some point. Chances are if you are watching this video then you are probably dealing with a CORS error right now. In this video I will tell you what CORS is and how you can fix CORS errors.

    Well.. It's easy when you actually have an access to the server. The real problem for me is when you are working with API's and run into cors. That's when i start thinking about jumping off of a bridge

    Setting up a proxy is easy enough. There's plenty of Internet advice on CORS issues which is completely useless and confused. Setting up a proxy literally takes 15 min and solves the problem once and for all. You can reuse the proxy in your future projects.

    It’s actually the browser which is blocking the request, not the server. CORS is a safety measure for the client, all the cors library on the server is doing is setting the response header. You can test this by replaying the same request through something like postman. I know this might seem like a semantic difference but it’s important to realise that adding the cors package to your server gives you absolutely no control over where requests to your server originate from. It only tells browsers to block requests to your server originating from another domain.

    This is exactly the headache I've had for the past 3 months. I am using React (Vita) for the frontend, node in the backend and Azure AD. The browser blocks every request I perform to my AD. The temporary solution I found was to use vite as a proxy to my API's. This works well for development but before releasing for production I need to fix it and I do not even know how yet.

    @@Joselson14 Using a proxy server is actually one of the best and most common solutions, you just don’t want to use vite dev server for it. In AWS you could use something like cloud front, or id self hosting a lightweight http server like nginx that is in front of everything else and then, for example, proxies all requests to /api to your api server, while all other routes are forwarded to your frontend ssr server. The alternative would be adding cors header to the AD endpoint is that’s possible, but I think a proxy is far more flexible. The reason the proxy server method works is because cors only affects requests from browser, end well, the proxy server isn’t a browser. You can even add restrictive cors header to your proxy server so only you frontend can call it from the browser.

    Few quite important things not mentioned here. First, post requests with JSON do require preflights, so many people will still get CORS errors following this. This is because only certain content types are allowed by default, and JSON is not one of them. Second, withCredentials: true only works when a wildcard is not being used. If you have both set, the browser won't release the response.
