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.
CORs is one of those problems that every single developer faces. Thanks for the explanation!

I've been developing for what feels like forever, and these small things (like CORS) still crop up and interrupt flow. As you point out, the solutions in reality are always simple in the end :) It's so helpful to have a quick few minute burst of solution orientated goodness. Another issue put to bed for good. Thanks man!
Yours 30 seconds cookie part really helped me a lot. Had spend my whole morning working on cors, even read all answers on Stackoverflow and cors documentation but was still getting problem related to cookies. Your video is really a life saver and also at the best time. Really love you a lot❤️❤️

thats why i love and actually prefer watching quick tutorials instead of going through the docs, especially when i have to get the initial, basic understanding of how something works. after i have the basics right, then i view the docs to build on top of what i know.
Something I have tried to understand for a while but never got it, and you manage to describe and demo it in about 6 minutes... Awesome!
After a year of working on native apps I come back to a web project and run into this issue immediately, then your video comes out a couple days later, Perfect!!
Solved a 2 days long headache in a simple well explained video of 6:03 minutes, bro, you are awesome! 🔥🔥
You made my morning by starting off with one of my favorite spongebob clips lol.
The best thing of this channel is that you're explaining well in a simple and easy English language, keep going;
Thanks man for making a separate video. Few days back I was stuck with the same and had to refer to your Spotify clone video. ❤️
Last year, this particular error set us(our team) back about 3-5months give or take and it really means the world to the dev community how you were able to provide a solution in a very well-explained manner. Thank you very much👏

Have been banging my head against the table for 3 hours. Then I find your video and you fix it in 6 minutes. AHHHH, SO RELIEVED. Such gratitude! Thank you!
You absolutely rock. I swear half my knowledge is from your channel. Thank you so much for all you do
Thanks for explaining something that I feel often is presented in a complicated and misleading way, in a much simpler one. You explained well what the issue is and how to solve it. Keep it going that way :)
omgsh.. that spongebob snippet! perfect description of my emotions with CORS. Thank you for providing the basics to understand it!
dude after spending hours trying to figure this out you are the only one who was able to fix the issue, Thank you!
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.
That's what exactly a doctor ordered for a busy person like us... simple explanation in 6 mins.. Good work...
I was searching up this problem this whole week and took a break when I couldn’t find it. Then this videos pops up
You are always on point with your tutorials! Great stuff man!
This is a wonderful video, I've actually searched for this problem many many times before and it has been very frustrating. I bet many people will find it very useful! Thanks Kyle!
Damn man. You're doing the right thing with your videos. As a developer these videos add value than learning some exotic programming language. Great job Kyle 🔥
working on my first project getting my head around http requests, cookies, jwt, routes all at once and on top of it I get this cors issue. I watched a few 'solutions' talking about cumbersome apis, chrome bugs, proxies. then you explain the error, show what's going on in 6 minutes: problem solved. This is how you make tutorials. to the point, no bullshit, straightforward! subscribed and thank you!
It was short, crystal and clear as always. Great content
very good video. You speak fast but very clear. Even as a non native english speaker from germany, it's easy to follow you. Very good.
Awesome, I've just started to learn about cors so this made things very clear. Great job
wow you are so good. I knew how to use cors but i never knew that small trick about cookies. Thank you a lot Web Dev Simplified. Your free videos on react helped me a lot and i am now on my second job as a full stack React developer :)
Bro you're the best, never stop what you're doing for the developer community!

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.
