CORS Middleware

There are many use cases of Cloudflare Workers as Web APIs and calling them from external front-end application. For them we have to implement CORS, let's do this with middleware as well.

Import

npm

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { cors } from 'hono/cors'

Deno

import { Hono } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/mod.ts'
import { cors } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/middleware.ts'

Usage

const app = new Hono()

app.use('/api/*', cors())
app.use(
  '/api2/*',
  cors({
    origin: 'http://example.com',
    allowHeaders: ['X-Custom-Header', 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests'],
    allowMethods: ['POST', 'GET', 'OPTIONS'],
    exposeHeaders: ['Content-Length', 'X-Kuma-Revision'],
    maxAge: 600,
    credentials: true,
  })
)

app.all('/api/abc', (c) => {
  return c.json({ success: true })
})
app.all('/api2/abc', (c) => {
  return c.json({ success: true })
})

Multiple origins:

app.use(
  '/api3/*',
  cors({
    origin: ['https://example.com', 'https://example.org'],
  })
)

// Or you can use "function"
app.use(
  '/api4/*',
  cors({
    // `c` is a `Context` object
    origin: (origin, c) => {
      return origin.endsWith('.example.com') ? origin : 'http://example.com'
    },
  })
)

Options

• origin: string | string[] | (origin:string, c:Context) => string
  • The value of "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" CORS header. You can also pass the callback function like origin: (origin) => (origin.endsWith('.example.com') ? origin : 'http://example.com'). Default is *
• allowMethods: string[]
  • The value of "Access-Control-Allow-Methods" CORS header. Default is ['GET', 'HEAD', 'PUT', 'POST', 'DELETE', 'PATCH']
• allowHeaders: string[]
  • The value of "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" CORS header. Default is []
• maxAge: number
  • The value of "Access-Control-Max-Age" CORS header.
• credentials: boolean
  • The value of "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials" CORS header.
• exposeHeaders: string[]
  • The value of "Access-Control-Expose-Headers" CORS header. Default is []
