How to turn off restrictions on cross-domain requests in Laravel projects

When using Laravel to build web applications, due to security reasons, the browser prohibits cross-domain requests between different domains by default, which may cause some functions to not work properly. This article explains how to turn off restrictions on cross-origin requests in a Laravel application.

Cross-origin request is a technology that initiates cross-domain requests in the browser, for example, initiating a request to an API running on localhost:8080 in an application running on localhost:8000.

Laravel has quite strict restrictions on cross-origin requests by default. This is to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks. Therefore, if your application needs to support cross-domain requests, you need to take some steps to turn off Laravel's cross-domain request restrictions.

Here are some methods you can use to turn off restrictions on cross-origin requests in your Laravel application:

1. Using a proxy

You can use a proxy to forward Cross-origin requests. In this case, the request will be sent to a server that is in the same domain as the web application and has no cross-domain request restrictions. Laravel applications will always expect requests to come from the local server, so don't worry about the interface being rendered.

2. Add middleware

You can write a middleware to enable cross-domain requests. This middleware will set the required headers to allow responding to cross-origin requests. Here is sample code for adding middleware in a Laravel application:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

class CorsMiddleware {
    public function handle($request, Closure $next) {
        $headers = [
            &#39;Access-Control-Allow-Origin&#39; => '*',
            'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' => 'POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE',
            'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' => 'Content-Type, X-Auth-Token, Origin',
        ];
        if ($request->getMethod() == "OPTIONS") {
            return response()->json('{"method":"OPTIONS"}', 200, $headers);
        }
        $response = $next($request);
        foreach ($headers as $key => $value) {
            $response->header($key, $value);
        }
        return $response;
    }
}

In your application, you can add this middleware to the routes where you wish to turn off cross-domain request restrictions, or add it to Global middleware group.

3. Using Laravel's cross-domain request functionality

Laravel provides a built-in way to handle cross-domain requests. You can use Laravel's cross-origin request feature in a route or controller, for example:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;

class ApiController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $data = [
            &#39;name&#39; => 'John Doe',
            'email' => 'johndoe@example.com',
        ];

        $response = new Response($data);
        $response->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
        $response->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE');
        $response->header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type, X-Auth-Token, Origin');

        return $response;
    }
}

The above code sets the response header to allow all origins to initiate cross-domain requests.

Summary:

This article introduces three methods to turn off cross-domain request restrictions in Laravel applications. Using a proxy is probably the easiest way, but you can use middleware or Laravel's built-in features to have more fine-grained control over cross-origin requests. Depending on your application needs, you can choose the policy that best suits you to disable restrictions on cross-origin requests.
