CORS #

This is a module used to enable and configure CORS with various options. This module can be used both in and out of Leaf and so can be considered a general module. It is also inspired by the ExpressJS CORS package.

Installation #

You can install CORS through Composer or the Leaf CLI.

leaf install cors

or

composer require leafs/cors

Usage #

After installing the cors module, Leaf automatically links it to your app, so it can be used directly without referencing it anywhere. To get started, simply call the cors method on the leaf instance.

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new Leaf\App();
$app->cors();

// ... your app

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

app()->cors();

// ... your app

Leaf\Http\Cors::config([
  'origin' => 'http://example.com',
  'optionsSuccessStatus' => 200,
]);

Simple Usage (Enable All CORS Requests) #

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new Leaf\App;

$app->cors();

$app->get('/products/{id}', function () use($app) {
  $app->response()->json([
    'message' => 'This is CORS-enabled for all origins!'
  ]);
});

$app->run();

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

app()->cors();

app()->get('/products/{id}', function () {
  response()->json([
    "message" => "This is CORS-enabled for all origins!"
  ]);
});

app()->run();

You can alternatively call Leaf\Http\Cors::config() instead of $app->cors() in the example above.

Configuring CORS #

$app->cors([
  'origin' => 'http://example.com',
  'optionsSuccessStatus' => 200, // some legacy browsers (IE11, various SmartTVs) choke on 204
]);

app()->cors([
  "origin" => 'http://example.com',
  "optionsSuccessStatus" => 200 // some legacy browsers (IE11, various SmartTVs) choke on 204
]);

Configuration Options #

• origin: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Origin CORS header. Possible values:
  • String - set origin to a specific origin. For example if you set it to "http://example.com" only requests from "http://example.com" will be allowed.
  • RegExp - set origin to a regular expression pattern which will be used to test the request origin. If it's a match, the request origin will be reflected. For example the pattern /example\.com$/ will reflect any request that is coming from an origin ending with "example.com".
  • Array - set origin to an array of valid origins. Each origin can be a String or a RegExp. For example ["http://example1.com", /\.example2\.com$/] will accept any request from "http://example1.com" or from a subdomain of "example2.com".
  • Function - set origin to a function implementing some custom logic. The function takes the request origin as the first parameter and a callback (called as callback(err, origin), where origin is a non-function value of the origin option) as the second.
• methods: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Methods CORS header. Expects a comma-delimited string (ex: 'GET,PUT,POST') or an array (ex: ['GET', 'PUT', 'POST']).
• allowedHeaders: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Headers CORS header. Expects a comma-delimited string (ex: 'Content-Type,Authorization') or an array (ex: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']). If not specified, defaults to reflecting the headers specified in the request's Access-Control-Request-Headers header.
• exposedHeaders: Configures the Access-Control-Expose-Headers CORS header. Expects a comma-delimited string (ex: 'Content-Range,X-Content-Range') or an array (ex: ['Content-Range', 'X-Content-Range']). If not specified, no custom headers are exposed.
• credentials: Configures the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials CORS header. Set to true to pass the header, otherwise it is omitted.
• maxAge: Configures the Access-Control-Max-Age CORS header. Set to an integer to pass the header, otherwise it is omitted.
• preflightContinue: Pass the CORS preflight response to the next handler.
• optionsSuccessStatus: Provides a status code to use for successful OPTIONS requests, since some legacy browsers (IE11, various SmartTVs) choke on 204.

The default configuration is the equivalent of:

{
  "origin": "*",
  "methods": "GET,HEAD,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE",
  "allowedHeaders": "*",
  "exposedHeaders": "",
  "credentials": false,
  "maxAge": null,
  "preflightContinue": false,
  "optionsSuccessStatus": 204,
}
