CORS express not working predictably

Question

I am trying to allow access from everywhere.

I have tried using app middleware:

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  res.setHeader(\"Access-Control-Allo         


        

Answer 1

Following some standard node projects out there, below CORS configuration worked for me always. It requires the npm package 'cors'. Note: Origin * means enabling responses to any origin and replies with status code 200. If this needs to be limited to one domain, update the origin accordingly. Ex: [origin: 'http://exampleui.com']

var cors = require('cors');
var corsOptions = {
    origin: '*',
    optionsSuccessStatus: 200,
  }
app.use(cors(corsOptions));
app.use(express.json())
