Flask CORS

---

1. Enabling CORS for All Origins:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

2. Specifying Allowed Origins:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

origins = ['http://localhost:3000', 'https://example.com']

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, origins=origins)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

3. Configuring CORS Headers:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

headers = ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, headers=headers)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

4. Enabling CORS Preflight Requests:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, supports_credentials=True)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

5. Exposing Headers in CORS Preflight Responses:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

headers = ['X-Custom-Header']

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, expose_headers=headers)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

6. Customizing CORS Cache Control:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, max_age=3600)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

7. Automatically Setting CORS Headers:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import cross_origin

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/api')
@cross_origin()
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

8. Restricting CORS for Specific Routes:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, resources={r'/api/*': {'origins': 'http://localhost:3000'}})

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

9. Using CORS with Preflight Request Only:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, send_wildcard=True, automatic_options=True)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

10. Allowing CORS for Debugging:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, origins=['http://localhost:5000'], debug=True)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

11. Setting CORS Headers Based on Origin:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

origins = {'http://localhost:3000': {'headers': ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']}}

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, origins=origins)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

12. Adding CORS Headers to Preflight Request:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, send_wildcard=True, automatic_options=True, max_age=3600)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

13. Excluding Preflight Requests:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, supports_credentials=True, automatic_options=False)

@app.route('/api')
def api():
    return jsonify({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

14. Using CORS with RESTful API:

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)

@app.route('/api/<id>', methods=['GET', 'PUT', 'DELETE'])
def api(id):
    # Handle RESTful API requests
    if request.method == 'GET':
        return jsonify({'message': 'Get data for id: {}'.format(id)})
    elif request.method == 'PUT':
        return jsonify({'message': 'Update data for id: {}'.format(id)})
    elif request.method == 'DELETE':
        return jsonify({'message': 'Delete data for id: {}'.format(id)})

15. Configuring CORS for JWT Tokens:

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS
from jwt import encode, decode, ExpiredSignatureError

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app, supports_credentials=True)

# Generate JWT token
token = encode({'user': 'admin', 'exp': datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=30)}, 'secret', algorithm='HS256')

@app.route('/api', methods=['GET'])
def api():
    if 'Authorization' not in request.headers:
        return jsonify({'error': 'Authorization header is missing'}), 401

    token = request.headers['Authorization'].split()[1]
    try:
        data = decode(token, 'secret', algorithms=['HS256'])

@app.route('/api', methods=['GET'])
def api():
    if not request.authorization or not basic_auth(request.authorization.username, request.authorization.password):
        return jsonify({'error': 'Unauthorized'}), 401

    return jsonify({'data': 'Protected data'})
