I’m working on an Angular application that needs to make API requests to a server on a different domain. However, I’m running into the CORS policy issue, and my requests are being blocked.
I’ve tried setting the Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header on the server, but it doesn’t seem to work. What are some other solutions to fix this CORS policy issue in my Angular app?
To fix the CORS policy issue in your Angular application, you can either configure your server to allow CORS requests or use a proxy server. For the server-side solution, if you're using Node.js with Express, you can enable CORS by installing the cors package and adding the middleware to your Express app: const express = require('express'); const cors = require('cors'); const app = express(); app.use(cors()); Alternatively, you can use a proxy server to bypass CORS restrictions during development. Update your Angular proxy.conf.json file to redirect requests to your server: { "/api": { "target": "http://localhost:3000", "secure": false } } Then, start your Angular app with the proxy configuration: ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json
