API

• withCors is a Middleware Factory; it takes in the following options:

  export interface WithCorsOptions {
    isOriginAllowed?: Function
    accessControlAllowHeaders?: string[]
    accessControlAllowMethods?: string[]
    accessControlMaxAge?: number
    accessControlAllowCredentials?: boolean
    accessControlExposeHeaders?: string[]
  }

  As noted above, none of the options are required.

  • isOriginAllowed a function to validate the Origin header of the request
  • accessControlAllowHeaders control the Access-Control-Allow-Headers header. Defaults to ['origin', 'content-type', 'accept', 'authorization']
  • accessControlAllowMethods control the Access-Control-Allow-Methods header. Defaults to ['GET', 'OPTIONS', 'HEAD']
  • accessControlMaxAge control the Access-Control-Max-Age header. Defaults to 3600 seconds.
  • accessControlAllowCredentials control the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header. Defaults to false.
  • accessControlExposeHeaders control the Access-Control-Expose-Headers header. Defaults to [].

• cors is a utility function that adds CORS headers to a Response; it takes in the following options:

  export interface CorsOptions extends WithCorsOptions {
    response: Response
    accessControlAllowOrigin?: string
  }

  Note: it extends the WithCorsOptions

  This function is used by withCors where the accessControlAllowOrigin is set to the Origin header of the request.

Note:

If the requestHandler given to withCors or the response given to cors already contains Access-Control-* Headers, they will be overriden with whatever config is given.
