8.5 CORS 3.2.6

(Quick Reference) # 8.5 CORS Version: 3.2.6 ## 8.5 CORS Spring Boot provides CORS support out of the box, but it is difficult to configure in a Grails application due to the way UrlMappings are used instead of annotations that define URLs. Starting with Grails 3.2.1, we have added a way to configure CORS that makes sense in a Grails application. Once enabled, the default setting is "wide open". application.yml
    grails:
        cors:
            enabled: true
That will produce a mapping to all urls `/**` with:
allowedOrigins | `['*']`
allowedMethods | `['*']`
allowedHeaders | `['*']`
exposedHeaders | `null`
maxAge | `1800`
allowCredentials | true
Some of these settings come directly from Spring Boot and can change in future versions. DEFAULT_ORIGINS DEFAULT_ALLOWED_HEADERS DEFAULT_MAX_AGE DEFAULT_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS All of those settings can be easily overridden. application.yml
    grails:
        cors:
            enabled: true
            allowedOrigins: [http://localhost:5000]
In the example above, the `allowedOrigins` setting will replace `[*]`. You can also configure different URLs. application.yml
    grails:
        cors:
            enabled: true
            allowedHeaders: [Content-Type]
            mappings:
                /api/**:
                    allowedOrigins: [http://localhost:5000]
                    //Other configurations not specified default to the global config
| Specifying at least one mapping will disable the creation of the global mapping (`/**`). If you wish to keep that setting, you should specify it along with your other mappings.
The settings above will produce a single mapping of `/api/**` with the following settings:
allowedOrigins | `['http://localhost:5000']`
allowedMethods | `['*']`
allowedHeaders | `['Content-Type']`
exposedHeaders | `null`
maxAge | `1800`
allowCredentials | true
If you don’t wish to override any of the default settings, but only want to specify URLs, you can do so like this example: application.yml
    grails:
        cors:
            enabled: true
            mappings:
                /api/**: {}
