Server cors

Skazka Server Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).

NPM

How to install

npm i @skazka/server @skazka/server-cors

With yarn:

yarn add @skazka/server @skazka/server-cors

Optionally you can add http server, error handler, logger, router, request and response:

npm i @skazka/server-http @skazka/server-router @skazka/server-error @skazka/server-logger @skazka/server-request @skazka/server-response

With yarn:

yarn add @skazka/server-http @skazka/server-router @skazka/server-error @skazka/server-logger @skazka/server-request @skazka/server-response

How to use

Server module

const App = require('@skazka/server');
const Router = require('@skazka/server-router');
        
const cors = require('@skazka/server-cors');
        
const error = require('@skazka/server-error');
const logger = require('@skazka/server-logger');

const request = require('@skazka/server-request');
const response = require('@skazka/server-response');
        
const server = require('@skazka/server-http');
        
const app = new App();
const router = new Router();
        
app.all([
  error(),
  logger(),
  request(),
  cors(),
  response(),
]);
    
router.get('/data').then(async (ctx) => {
  return ctx.response('data'); 
});
        
app.then(router.resolve());
        
server.createHttpServer(app);

Configuring CORS

const corsOptions = {
  origin: 'http://example.com',
  optionsSuccessStatus: 200 // some legacy browsers (IE11, various SmartTVs) choke on 204
}

app.then(cors(corsOptions)); //This is CORS-enabled for only example.com.

If you do not want to block REST tools or server-to-server requests, add a !origin check in the origin function like so:

var corsOptions = {
  origin(origin, callback) {
    if (whitelist.indexOf(origin) !== -1 || !origin) {
      callback(null, true)
    } else {
      callback(new Error('Not allowed by CORS'))
    }
  }
}

Enabling CORS Pre-Flight

const app = new App();
app.all([
  error(),
  logger(),
  response(),
]);
    
router.get('/data').then(async (ctx) => {
  await cors();
  return ctx.response('data'); 
});
        
app.then(router.resolve());
        
server.createHttpServer(app);

Configuration Options

  • origin: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Origin CORS header. Possible values:
    • Boolean - set origin to true to reflect the request origin, as defined by req.header('Origin'), or set it to false to disable CORS.
    • String - set origin to a specific origin. For example if you set it to "http://example.com" only requests from "http://example.com" will be allowed.
    • RegExp - set origin to a regular expression pattern which will be used to test the request origin. If it's a match, the request origin will be reflected. For example the pattern /example\.com$/ will reflect any request that is coming from an origin ending with "example.com".
    • Array - set origin to an array of valid origins. Each origin can be a String or a RegExp. For example ["http://example1.com", /\.example2\.com$/] will accept any request from "http://example1.com" or from a subdomain of "example2.com".
    • Function - set origin to a function implementing some custom logic. The function takes the request origin as the first parameter and a callback (which expects the signature err [object], allow [bool]) as the second.
  • methods: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Methods CORS header. Expects a comma-delimited string (ex: 'GET,PUT,POST') or an array (ex: ['GET', 'PUT', 'POST']).
  • allowedHeaders: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Headers CORS header. Expects a comma-delimited string (ex: 'Content-Type,Authorization') or an array (ex: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']). If not specified, defaults to reflecting the headers specified in the request's Access-Control-Request-Headers header.
  • exposedHeaders: Configures the Access-Control-Expose-Headers CORS header. Expects a comma-delimited string (ex: 'Content-Range,X-Content-Range') or an array (ex: ['Content-Range', 'X-Content-Range']). If not specified, no custom headers are exposed.
  • credentials: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials CORS header. Set to true to pass the header, otherwise it is omitted.
  • maxAge: Configures the Access-Control-Max-Age CORS header. Set to an integer to pass the header, otherwise it is omitted.
  • preflightContinue: Pass the CORS preflight response to the next handler.
  • optionsSuccessStatus: Provides a status code to use for successful OPTIONS requests, since some legacy browsers (IE11, various SmartTVs) choke on 204.

The default configuration is the equivalent of:

{
  "origin": "*",
  "methods": "GET,HEAD,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE",
  "preflightContinue": false,
  "optionsSuccessStatus": 204
}
