Why I No longer Hate CORS and Why you should too!

As we all know, CORS is a plague on the web which did make many of us go insane over The "has been blocked by CORS policy" error on different browsers whenever you're trying to request or post data to your API that is running on a different PORT or server. In this video, We'll understand CORS like we are 5 and I'm gonna make you love CORS again :)

Thank you! I get it now! I used to just get frustrated.. now I kind of know what to do and look for. Now I gotta figure out how to configure it for Spring Boot. Thanks!

CORS is always something strange for a dev 😝 this content is very helpful 👏🏻

CORS is complete bullshit. You can't do the request from the browser, but you can use a proxy that calls the request, and call the proxy in the browser. Completely useless.

But I understand, that the application can not steel a different session, it could be implemented different tho, imo... Blocking the request completly is dump. Just remove the session.

I am trying to fetch data from an api using react but the api isn't my own so i do not have access to add the cors middleware to it how do I go about that

[josephuzuegbu]

this is one of the best explanation on CORS

[tammielisa]

Gee that’s nice. Now what do I do about “require is not defined?”

[juanausensi]

I still haven't an answer: What is the point of cors? What is trying to achieve?

[amirrahman]

when i started learning there was no thing called cors and when it came i already knew why it is implemented :P

[ranchpanda]

I have this as my unsolved problem -_-

[mrkhoros]

Why you should too! or you shouldn't?

[jayvee-official]

you don't need to install CORS... while you can add a simple HTTP header: Access-Control-Allow-Origin :v
