No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header - Laravel

Question

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://myapi/api/rating. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8104' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 403.

I can't figure out why I can't make CORS requests. I've install the middleware here, added it to the global http kernel, but it still doesn't work. Tried to create a custom middleware given stackoverflow suggestions but that also did not work. Also tried adding a Route group. Lastly, I tried setting the response headers manually in the request action. I'm really stuck - help is appreciated!

See for code: https://gist.github.com/KerryRitter/0d7ababb7b9eb8d54f0ae55add9704a1

Solution 1

If you are using Laravel 5.5 & Laravel 5.x and facing same problem like No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Just use following package and config your system.

Step 1:

composer require barryvdh/laravel-cors

Step 2

You also need to add Cors\ServiceProvider to your config/app.php providers array:

FruitCake\Cors\CorsServiceProvider::class,

To allow CORS for all your routes, add the HandleCors middleware in the $middleware property of app/Http/Kernel.php class:

For global uses:

protected $middleware = [
    // ...
    \Fruitcake\Cors\HandleCors::class,
];

For middleware uses:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
   'web' => [
       // ...
   ],

   'api' => [
        // ...
        \Fruitcake\Cors\HandleCors::class,
    ],
];

Step 3

Once your installation completed run below command to publish the vendor files.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Fruitcake\Cors\ServiceProvider"

Hope this answer helps someone facing the same problem as myself.

Laravel restricts the cross origin request due to security issues by default. We need to create a Cors middleware to the accept the request from different origin.

Step 1 : Create Cors middleware.

php artisan make:middleware Cors

Step 2 : Add below lines in handle function before return.

//header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin:  *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin:  http://localhost:4200');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers:  Content-Type, X-Auth-Token, Authorization, Origin');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods:  POST, PUT');

Step 3 : Register the middileware in app/Http/Kernel.php file.

Add below line in $middleware array 

\App\Http\Middleware\Cors::class,

Step 4 : Now we have to call the middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php file

Add below line in $routeMiddleware array 

'cors' => \App\Http\Middleware\Cors::class,

The laravel-cors package allows you to send Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers with Laravel middleware configuration.

I faced this error in laravel 5.4 recently, i was sending ajax post request to my own website, and was still getting this same error, i faced this error due to two reasons to be precise,

error: XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://[mydomain].com/quote/short. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://[mydomain].com' is therefore not allowed access.

The reason for above error was that, i was posting request to http domain from https domain, so when i changed it to https, the error was resolved, then again i got the same error due to similar reason, which was the reason, this time, the domain had www. and the requested one did not, after i added www. to both, it worked like a charm.

And for cross origin requests, i used to following solution:

1. Create a middleware (cors in my case) having code below

   return $next($request)
       ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
       ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
   

2. Insert middle-ware into routeMiddleware array in kernal.php

   'cors' => \App\Http\Middleware\Cors::class,

3. Add middleware to the respected route

   Route::get('myRoute', ['middleware' => 'cors' , 'uses'=> 'MyController@Action']

Hope this answer helps someone facing the same problem as myself.

ok, here is my try. if i'm post to protected api using wrong token, passport return 401 with {"message":"Unauthenticated."}

but because there is no cors header exist on response, my vue app get CORS error and cannot handle the response code.

so at laravel 5.8 on http/kernel.php $middlewarePriority add \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class before \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class

here is my code:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
        // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
    ],

    'api' => [
        'throttle:300,1',
        'Localization',
        'bindings',
        'cors'
    ],
];

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
    'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
    'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
    'cache.headers' => \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\SetCacheHeaders::class,
    'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
    'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
    'signed' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,
    'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
    'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class,

    // Add Localization MiddleWare
    'Localization' => \App\Http\Middleware\localization::class,
    'cors' => \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class,
];

protected $middlewarePriority = [
    \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
    \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,

    //add to handle cors before authenticate
    \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class,

    \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
    \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
    \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
    \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
];

hope this help someone else

be simple, use this plugin: github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors

[Kerry Ritter]

I did, that is the middleware I mentioned (forgot to say). I added to the kernel as seen in my gist

[num8er]

how about to keep it like: 'middleware' => [\Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class]

[Kerry Ritter]

Alright, I removed the 'cors' registration and Cors class. removed the Route group. removed the request action headers. All i have is this for the Kernel protected $middleware = [ ... \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class ]; Still no luck :(

[Kerry Ritter]

Solved my problem on this: I didn't add "Barryvdh\Cors\ServiceProvider::class" to the config/app.php providers array.

[MrCujo]

Thanks, this was the only thing that worked for me. I believe the other answers (or stuff I've seen online) don't mention the fact that we need to add the middleware to the $middleware array.

[Varun Pradhan]

Thank You So Much Without using any package it did the work..

[Elby]

in config/app.php we have to add this Fruitcake\Cors\CorsServiceProvider::class,

[Jose Mhlanga]

Using the * works rather than the host origin. Was missing the Cors.php middleware in the array as well Thank you

[ldmuniz]

It the ONLY working method. A lot of wrong resources on web.

[Quentin]

You can't have multiple Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers.

[Quentin]

Your choice of Headers and Methods to allow seems arbitrary and unrelated to the question.

[arman amirkamali]

but thats worked for me
