CORS gin's middleware

Gin middleware/handler to enable CORS support.

Usage

Start using it

Download and install it:

go get github.com/gin-contrib/cors

Import it in your code:

import "github.com/gin-contrib/cors"

Canonical example

package main

import (
  "time"

  "github.com/gin-contrib/cors"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  router := gin.Default()
  // CORS for https://foo.com and https://github.com origins, allowing:
  // - PUT and PATCH methods
  // - Origin header
  // - Credentials share
  // - Preflight requests cached for 12 hours
  router.Use(cors.New(cors.Config{
    AllowOrigins:     []string{"https://foo.com"},
    AllowMethods:     []string{"PUT", "PATCH"},
    AllowHeaders:     []string{"Origin"},
    ExposeHeaders:    []string{"Content-Length"},
    AllowCredentials: true,
    AllowOriginFunc: func(origin string) bool {
      return origin == "https://github.com"
    },
    MaxAge: 12 * time.Hour,
  }))
  router.Run()
}

Using DefaultConfig as start point

func main() {
  router := gin.Default()
  // - No origin allowed by default
  // - GET,POST, PUT, HEAD methods
  // - Credentials share disabled
  // - Preflight requests cached for 12 hours
  config := cors.DefaultConfig()
  config.AllowOrigins = []string{"http://google.com"}
  // config.AllowOrigins == []string{"http://google.com", "http://facebook.com"}
  // config.AllowAllOrigins = true

  router.Use(cors.New(config))
  router.Run()
}

note: while Default() allows all origins, DefaultConfig() does not and you will still have to use AllowAllOrigins

Default() allows all origins

func main() {
  router := gin.Default()
  // same as
  // config := cors.DefaultConfig()
  // config.AllowAllOrigins = true
  // router.Use(cors.New(config))
  router.Use(cors.Default())
  router.Run()
}
