CORS is a security mechanism implemented by web browsers to restrict cross-origin requests (requests made from a domain different from the one that served the web page).
It prevents malicious scripts from one domain from accessing resources from another domain without explicit permission.
Configuration Methods:
- Using the
corsMiddleware (Express):
Install the cors middleware:
npm install cors
Import and apply it in your Express app:
const express = require('express');
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
app.use(cors()); // Enable CORS for all routes (carefully consider security implications)
