Generated Configuration

const cors = require('cors');

const corsOptions = {
  origin: "*",
  methods: ["GET","POST","PUT","DELETE","OPTIONS"],
  allowedHeaders: ["Content-Type","Authorization"],
  exposedHeaders: [],
  credentials: false,
  maxAge: 86400,
  preflightContinue: false
};

app.use(cors(corsOptions));

Best Practices

  • Never use "*" for Access-Control-Allow-Origin with credentials in production
  • Specify exact origins instead of wildcards for better security
  • Only allow necessary HTTP methods to reduce attack surface
  • Set appropriate max-age to reduce preflight requests
  • Use HTTPS for all CORS-enabled endpoints
  • Validate and sanitize all cross-origin requests
  • Consider using a Content Security Policy alongside CORS
  • Test CORS configuration with different browsers
  • Monitor CORS errors in browser console during development
  • Document your CORS policy for API consumers
