Tips

Please note that allow_credential is a very sensitive option, so choose to enable it carefully. After set it be true, the default * of other parameters will be invalid, you must specify their values explicitly. When using **, you must fully understand that it introduces some security risks, such as CSRF, so make sure that this security level meets your expectations before using it。

How To Enable

Create a Route or Service object and configure cors plugin.

{
    "uri": "/hello",
    "plugins": {
        "cors": {}
    },
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "127.0.0.1:8080": 1
        }
    }
}'
