I imagine everyone knows what cors is and what it is for  In a simple way and for example if you use nodejs and express for the management  enable it is like this Dependency  https   www npmjs com package cors app use      cors         origin   quot   quot           more           And for the problem of browser requests locally  it is only to install this extension of google chrome  Name  Allow CORS  Access-Control-Allow-Origin https   chrome google com webstore detail allow-cors-access-control lhobafahddgcelffkeicbaginigeejlf hl es  This allows you to enable and disable cros in local  and problem solved

I had the same error  I solved it by installing CORS in my backend using npm i cors  You ll then need to add this to your code   const cors   require  cors    app use cors       This fixed it for me  now I can post my forms using AJAX and without needing to add any customized headers

Using the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the request won t help you in that case while this header can only be used on the response     To make it work you should probably add this header to your response You can also try to add the header crossorigin true to your request

I ll have a go at this complicated subject  What is origin  The origin itself is the name of a host  scheme  hostname  and port  i g  https   www google com or could be a locally opened file file    etc   It is where something  i g  a web page  originated from  When you open your web browser and go to https   www google com  the origin of the web page that is displayed to you is https   www google com  You can see this in Chrome Dev Tools under Security   The same applies for if you open a local HTML file via your file explorer  which is not served via a server    What has this got to do with CORS issues  When you open your browser and go to https   website com  that website will have the origin of https   website com  This website will most likely only fetch images  icons  js files and do API calls towards https   website com  basically it is calling the same server as it was served from  It is doing calls to the same origin  If you open your web browser and open a local HTML file and in that html file there is javascript which wants to do a request to google for example  you get the following error   The same-origin policy tells the browser to block cross-origin requests  In this instance origin null is trying to do a request to https   www google com  a cross-origin request   The browser will not allow this because of the CORS Policy which is set and that policy is that cross-origin requests is not allowed  Same applies for if my page was served from a server on localhost   Localhost server example If we host our own localhost API server running on localhost 3000 with the following code  const express   require  express   const app   express     app use express static  public     app get   hello   function  req  res           res header  quot Access-Control-Allow-Origin quot    quot   quot        res send  Hello World         app listen 3000       gt        console log  alive        And open a HTML file  that does a request to the localhost 3000 server  directory from the file explorer the following error will happen   Since the web page was not served from the localhost server on localhost 3000 and via the file explorer the origin is not the same as the server API origin  hence a cross-origin request is being attempted  The browser is stopping this attempt due to CORS Policy  But if we uncomment the commented line  const express   require  express   const app   express     app use express static  public     app get   hello   function  req  res        res header  quot Access-Control-Allow-Origin quot    quot   quot        res send  Hello World         app listen 3000       gt        console log  alive        And now try again   It works  because the server which sends the HTTP response included now a header stating that it is ok for cross-origin requests to happen to the server  this means the browser will let it happen  hence no error  How to fix things  Serve the page from the same origin as where the requests you are making reside  same host   Allow the server to receive cross-origin requests by explicitly stating it in the response headers  Don t use a browser  Use cURL for example  it doesn t care about CORS Policies like browsers do and will get you what you want   Example flow Following is taken from  https   web dev cross-origin-resource-sharing  how-does-cors-work Remember  the same-origin policy tells the browser to block cross-origin requests  When you want to get a public resource from a different origin  the resource-providing server needs to tell the browser  quot This origin where the request is coming from can access my resource quot   The browser remembers that and allows cross-origin resource sharing   Step 1  client  browser  request When the browser is making a cross-origin request  the browser adds an Origin header with the current origin  scheme  host  and port    Step 2  server response On the server side  when a server sees this header  and wants to allow access  it needs to add an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the response specifying the requesting origin  or   to allow any origin    Step 3  browser receives response When the browser sees this response with an appropriate Access-Control-Allow-Origin header  the browser allows the response data to be shared with the client site    More links Here is another good answer  more detailed as to what is happening  https   stackoverflow com a 10636765 1137669

As I understand the problem is that request is sent from localhost 3000 to localhost 8080 and browser rejects such requests as CORS  So solution was to create proxy   My solution was    import proxy from  http-proxy-middleware  app use   api      proxy   target   http   localhost 8080

I had a similar problem when I tried to create the React Axios instance   I resolved it using the below approach   const instance   axios create     baseURL   https   jsonplaceholder typicode com      withCredentials  false    headers         Access-Control-Allow-Origin              Access-Control-Allow-Methods   GET PUT POST DELETE PATCH OPTIONS

I had a similar problem and I found that in my case the withCredentials  true in the request was activating the CORS check while issuing the same in the header would avoid the check   https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web HTTP CORS Errors CORSMIssingAllowCredentials  do not use  withCredentials  true but set  Access-Control-Allow-Credentials  true in the headers

In node js backend   Use cors npm module   npm install cors  Then add these lines to support Access-Control-Allow-Origin  const express   require  express   const app   express   app use cors    app get   products  id   cors    function  req  res  next                res json  msg   This is CORS-enabled for a Single Route          You can achieve the same  without requiring any external module app use function req  res  next                res header  quot Access-Control-Allow-Origin quot    quot   quot                res header  quot Access-Control-Allow-Headers quot    quot Origin  X-Requested-With  Content-Type  Accept quot                next

try it proxy package json add code   quot proxy quot   quot https   localhost port quot   and restart npm enjoy same code const instance   axios create     baseURL   quot  api list quot

If your backend support CORS  you probably need to add to your request this header   headers    Access-Control-Allow-Origin           Update  Access-Control-Allow-Origin is a response header - so in order to enable CORS - you need to add this header to the response from your server   But for the most cases better solution would be configuring the reverse proxy  so that your server would be able to redirect requests from the frontend to backend  without enabling CORS    You can find documentation about CORS mechanism here  https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web HTTP Access control CORS

First of all  CORS is definitely a server-side problem and not client-side but I was more than sure that server code was correct in my case since other apps were working using the same server on different domains  The solution for this described in more details in other answers   My problem started when I started using axios with my custom instance  In my case  it was a very specific problem when we use a baseURL in axios instance and then try to make GET or POST calls from anywhere  axios adds a slash   between baseURL and request URL  This makes sense too  but it was the hidden problem  My Laravel server was redirecting to remove the trailing slash which was causing this problem   In general  the pre-flight OPTIONS request doesn t like redirects  If your server is redirecting with 301 status code  it might be cached at different levels  So  definitely check for that and avoid it
