how to solve cors Allow Access control in vue js and laravel application - laravel

I Have tried almost everything. My front end is developed in vue js . backend is in laravel. we have written api for another website from which we are trying to fetch data. If directly access that website Url it gives all the data but when i try to access it from my website with axios it gives me this error.
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://example.com/api/tickets/fetch_tickets?page=undefined' from origin 'http://localhost:8000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field x-requested-with is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.
that website form which i am trying to fetch data also build in laravel. i have created middleware and applied it on api routes. I added chrome extension Allow Cors with which it works fine but we cant ask every client to use that extension.
We access that url from other website which is accessing data nicely. only vue js app creating these issue.
Vue Code
getTickets() {
axios.get( 'example.com/api/tickets/fetch_tickets?page=' + this.pagination.current, {
}).then((response) => {
// console.log(res.data.data)
// this.desserts = res.data.data;
// this.loadingprop = false;
this.desserts = response.data.data;
this.pagination.current = response.data.current_page;
this.pagination.total = response.data.last_page;
console.log(response.data.data);
}).catch((err) => {
this.handleErrors(err.response.data.errors);
})
.then(() => {
this.loading = false;
});
}
other website's routes
Route::group(['middleware' => ['api','cors']], function () {
Route::group(['prefix' => 'tickets'], function () {
Route::post('/store_ticket_auth', 'TicketApiController#storeTicketAuth'); //enter ticket auth
Route::get('/fetch_tickets', 'TicketApiController#fetchTickets'); //get all tickets
Route::get('/fetch_replies/{ticket_id}', 'TicketApiController#fetchTicketReplies'); // get all replies by ticket id
Route::post('/send_reply', 'TicketApiController#sendTicketReply'); // Send reply
Route::post('/update_ticket', 'TicketApiController#updateTicketStatus'); // Update Status
});
});
Do I need to add this on my cuurent project too?
return $next($request)
->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
I think the issue is on client side but dont know why it is not working.
I tried all answers on stackoverflow but nothing works

I have to add these lines in my index.php file of laravel
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
//header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "DELETE, POST, GET, OPTIONS");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers:*");
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "OPTIONS") {//send back preflight request response
return "";
}

Solved my issues by commenting out:
// window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'] = 'XMLHttpRequest';
in resources/js/bootstrap.js

The error is telling you that the server won't allow the client to use a x-requested-with header.
In php you can do this to allow the server to accept that header:
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-Requested-With');

If you want the easy way you can use laravel-cors
You can follow the installation step and add this code in your config/cors.php
'allow_origins' => [
'https://yourfrontendrequest.url',
],

Install Moesif Origin & CORS Changer Chrome extension and
Then go to resources/js/bootstrap.js and comment out this line // window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'] = 'XMLHttpRequest';

you can disable same origin policy in chrome
press win + R
and then copy this :
chrome.exe --user-data-dir="C://Chrome dev session" --disable-web-security

Enable CORS on Lumen API

I know it's a known issue but I've tried almost everything and I'm still stuck on this. I have a simple project structured like this:
[Client] => [Gateway] => [API]
Laravel 6 Lumen 6 Lumen 6
localhost:8000 localhost:8001 localhost:8002
Since I'm just started working on this project only to prove if this works I've disabled all auth stuff.
On my API I have a folder within public called uploads (Basically in http://localhost:8002/uploads/audio.amr) where I have 1 audio file (.amr) and I'm trying to play it from a client view.
Since html can't play .amr files, I had to use a plugin. And I'm using this one BenzAMRRecorder.
[Client side]
I make an ajax petition to get the url of the audio file. The client through guzzle connects with the gateway and the gateway also does it with the API and I successfully got the url http://localhost:8002/uploads/audio.amr.
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
$.ajax({
url : 'client/get_url_audio',
type : 'GET',
data : {
},
dataType:'json',
success : function(data) {
/** Here's the way to play the file */
var amr = new BenzAMRRecorder();
amr.initWithUrl(data['url']).then(function() {
amr.play();
});
},
});
I successfully got the url but when the BenzAMRRecorder try to access to the url http://localhost:8002/uploads/audio.amr I got this error:
The error:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost:8002/uploads/audio.amr' from origin 'http://localhost:8000' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
I've read a lot of ways to fix this and I added a CorsMiddleware on the API with a handle function as follows:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$headers = [
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' => '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' => 'POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE',
'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' => 'true',
'Access-Control-Max-Age' => '86400',
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' => 'Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With'
];
if ($request->isMethod('OPTIONS'))
{
return response()->json('{"method":"OPTIONS"}', 200, $headers);
}
$response = $next($request);
foreach($headers as $key => $value)
{
$response->header($key, $value);
}
return $response;
}
And then on bootstrap/app.php added
$app->middleware([
App\Http\Middleware\Cors::class
]);
But I'm still getting the same error. The thing I thought is that, when the method amr.initWithUrl(data['url']) access to the API folder, it doesn't go to middleware and try to access directly to the folders without passing by the middleware but I don't know why. Can someone help me to solve this problem?
EDIT: I also tried with github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors
Add the following in the .htaccess file from the server which holds the resource you are trying to access:
Header Set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
I don't know if it works in Lumen, but for Laravel, I've had a lot of success using this neomerx/cors package.
You probably missed the header X-CSRF-TOKEN from your CORS middleware?
$headers = [
....
// You will need to add ALL headers sent from your client
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' => 'Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With, X-CSRF-TOKEN'
];

I'm getting "blocked by CORS policy" when I try to call Instagram API using Axios [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin with instagram api
(1 answer)
CORS error, when i use instagram API with angularjs
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm trying to fetch some images from my Instagram account in a Laravel application with Vue as front end. When I try to do it in a standalone Vue app, it works well, but when I do so with Laravel, I got a message saying "has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field x-csrf-token is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response."
I'm using Laravel 5.8 and the Vue and Axios that comes within in and I'm using Homestead as my localhost server.
I've tried a lot of tips that I found here and on Google but I had no success. Basically, I'm trying the very basic of Axios call
beforeMount() {
axios.get('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=[MY_ACCESS_TOKEN]').then(response => console.log(response))
}
I already created a Cors middleware on Laravel and tried a lot of headers settings on Axios.
I'm basically trying to retrieve a list of my Instagram posts and bypass that cors / x-csrf error.
Laravel automatically applies the X-CSRF-TOKEN header to all axios requests. This is so you can communicate with your application without having to pass the CSRF token every time for POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
resources/js/bootstrap.js (default settings)
/**
* Next we will register the CSRF Token as a common header with Axios so that
* all outgoing HTTP requests automatically have it attached. This is just
* a simple convenience so we don't have to attach every token manually.
*/
let token = document.head.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]');
if (token) {
window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'] = token.content;
} else {
console.error('CSRF token not found: https://laravel.com/docs/csrf#csrf-x-csrf-token');
}
You should be able to remove the offending header by doing something like this:
beforeMount() {
// create a new instance so we don't delete the csrf token for other requests
let instance = axios.create();
// delete the x-csrf-token header
delete instance.defaults.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'];
// use the new instance to make your get request
instance.get('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=[MY_ACCESS_TOKEN]')
.then(response => console.log(response))
}
Your AJAX request to the Instagram API endpoint has to be sent as a jsonp request which means the dataType of the request has to be jsonp.
This blob in axios repository contains an example of sending a request using jsonp which is mentioned below.
Install jsonp package, if you haven't already.
npm install jsonp --save
and then;
const jsonp = require('jsonp');
jsonp('http://www.example.com/foo', null, (err, data) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err.message);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
});
Below is an example of sending a request using jQuery method with jsonp dataType to the Instagram API endpoint.
$.ajax({
url: "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=[MY_ACCESS_TOKEN]",
type: "GET",
crossDomain: true,
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(response){
console.log(response);
}
});

Method PUT is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Methods in preflight response vue-laravel App

I am new in vue. For ajax request I am using axios and for back-end I am using Laravel. Whenever I send a POST and GET request it's works fine. But while trying to send a PUT Request its showing Method PUT is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Methods in preflight response vue-laravel App. I had read lots of answer in Stackoverflow and github but none of them worked for me.
Here is the client side code:
axios.put('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/photo/6', this.photo, { headers: getHeader() })
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data.message);
}).catch(err => {
this.errors = err.response.data.errors;
});
Here is CROSS middleware code:
//allowed client
//now only for localhost vue cli
$domains = ['http://localhost:8080'];
if(isset($request->server()['HTTP_ORIGIN'])){
$origin = $request->server()['HTTP_ORIGIN'];
if(in_array($origin, $domains)){
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: '.$origin);
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Origin, Content-Type, Authorization');
}
}
return $next($request);
Try this in backend :
app/Http/Middleware/Cors.php
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
return $next($request)
->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE,
OPTIONS');
}
app/Http/Kernel.php $routedMiddleware array add
'cors' => \App\Http\Middleware\Cors::class,
Route/api.php
Route::group(['middleware' => 'cors'], function () {
Route::put('/v1/employees', 'Employees#store');
});
Particular GET, HEAD and POST HTTP requests do not trigger the CORS preflight OPTIONS check. They are called Simple Requests. They only send a subset of HTTP headers along. Any other additional header, like an Authorization header (think JWT authentication), will trigger a preflight OPTIONS request. The details on this can be found on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS
I think the easiest way for you to work with this, is to use the laravel-cors package on the backend (see https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors).
While doing development, you can simply be very permissive by setting allowedOrigins, allowedHeaders and allowedMethods to *. Later on, during testing and subsequently production, you should tune it to be more strict. By that time you'll have a much better hang of CORS concepts, and then you can configure it fully to your needs.

How to authenticate Vue.js / Axios request of an API route in Laravel

I'm in Laravel 5.6. I have all my API routes built out and properly responding to requests from my REST client (Paw). I'm trying to build a simple front end to access those routes.
I'm trying to use Laravel's out-of-the-box features as much as possible, so I'm using Axios to call those routes from a blade template using Vue.js. It works if I disable auth middleware on the test route, but I get 401 errors on the console when auth middleware is enabled for the route.
The problem seems obvious enough... The auth:api guard on my /api routes wants to see an oauth token in the header, but when I log in with the web page it does session authentication. I assume there's a simple way to resolve this without having to spoof an oauth token request in the web frontend, right? Do I need to somehow pass the session token in my request with Axios? And, if so, do I also need to change the auth:api guard in my api routes file?
I solved it! I'm a bit embarrassed because the answer was actually in the Laravel docs, but I will say I tried this before posting the question here and it wasn't working. Perhaps something else was broken at the time.
Per the Laravel docs:
All you need to do is add the CreateFreshApiToken middleware to your
web middleware group in your app/Http/Kernel.php file:
'web' => [
// Other middleware...
\Laravel\Passport\Http\Middleware\CreateFreshApiToken::class,
],
This Passport middleware will attach a laravel_token cookie to your
outgoing responses. This cookie contains an encrypted JWT that
Passport will use to authenticate API requests from your JavaScript
application. Now, you may make requests to your application's API
without explicitly passing an access token...
You will probably want to use Larvel Passport or a JWT auth mechanism for obtain the Authorization token.
Seeing as how you're using axios, add a request interceptor to attach the access token to every request once you successfully authenticate. A simple example:
// Add a request interceptor
axios.interceptors.request.use(function (config) {
// assume your access token is stored in local storage
// (it should really be somewhere more secure but I digress for simplicity)
let token = localStorage.getItem('access_token')
if (token) {
config.headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${token}`
}
return config;
}, function (error) {
// Do something with request error
return Promise.reject(error);
});
to use the auth:api first you need api_token inside your users table
Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
$table->string('api_token', 80)->after('password')
->unique()
->nullable()
->default(null);
});
also you can create a user for testing as follows
User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
'api_token' => Str::random(60),
]);
in your layout use the following before #yield('content')
<script>
window.Laravel = <?php echo json_encode(['api_token' => (Auth::user())->api_token]); ?>
</script>
now you can use window.laravel.api_token inside your vue js to use it in headers
heres an example
var methods = new Vue({
el: '#tabs_lists',
data: {
config: {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + window.Laravel.api_token,
Accept: 'application/json'
}
},
data: []
},
methods: {
test: function (link) {
axios.get(link, this.config)
.then(response => (this.data = response.data)).catch(function (error) {
// handle error
console.log(error);
});
}
}
}
)

POST Request to other server

I want to send a POST request to an other server with Ajax when a button is pressed.
But I'm getting the error message:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.example.com/hello. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://my.site.com' is therefore not allowed access.
This is my button:
<button id="my-button">Click me pls</button>
And this is the JS code:
document.getElementById("my-button").addEventListener("click", function (evt) {
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('POST', 'https://www.example.com/hello', true);
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8');
request.setRequestHeader('X-CSRF-TOKEN', "<...>");
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (request.readyState == 4 && request.status == 200) {
console.log(request.responseText);
}
};
request.send("message=Thisismymessage&" +
"_token=<...>");
evt.preventDefault();
return false;
});
/hello should process and store the message in the database.
On the server side I'm using Laravel 5.4.
This is my route:
Route::post('/hello', 'Auth\RegisterController#hello')
->middleware('cors');
The cors Middleware looks like this:
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class Cors
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
return $next($request)
->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'https//my.site.com')
->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE,OPTIONS')
->header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'origin, content-type, accept, authorization');
}
}
The hello method in the RegisterController just takes the data (in this case the message "Thisismymessage") and puts it in the database.
protected function hello(Request $request)
{
// Working with the data...
}
Do any of you have an idea how to fix it?
And my additional question ist: is there a way to "generate" the CSRF token from Laravel from an other application which doesn't use Laravel as framework or do I have to copy & paste it manually?
Thank you in advance.
I could recommend a little hack to solve the second question, i.e:
is there a way to "generate" the CSRF token from Laravel from an other application which doesn't use Laravel as framework or do I have to copy & paste it manually?
Create an end point in the backend of your app to generate a view of the form. You should already include the csrf_token field when making this form, so that at your front end you have a complete form which you will submit again.
This look like a snake long way.
The more recommended way is that: it appears you are building an api, this makes it easy because its stateless. Use an api key example with JWT-AUTH, so that you don't have to deal any thing with csrf token.
For the first question:
You should just sort out the cors issue from your backend a good one is Cors middleware for Laravel 5
Others: Not recommended but for test purpose you can add these in the constructor of your controller to see how your app fair:
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Accept, Authorization, X-Requested-With, Application');
Remember: This is useful only if you are doing a test.
