Enable CORS | Remix Supabase SaaS Kit

Learn how to enable CORS in your Remix Supabase SaaS Kit application

Enabling CORS is required if you want to allow serving HTTP request to external clients.

For example, if you want to expose an API to some consumers: JS libraries, headless clients, and so on.

The code to enable CORS in Remix is very simple. In fact, you can enable it using the following code:

function withCors() {
const headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
headers.append(
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers',
'Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, referer-path'
);
return headers;
}

Additionally, you need to handle OPTIONS requests appropriately.

if (request.method === `OPTIONS`) {
return new Response(null, {
headers: {
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE',
},
});
}

In your Makerkit codebase, this function is already available in the ~/core/middleware/with-cors.ts file.

To enable CORS, you can simply call it in your handler. If it fails, it will throw an exception with the appropriate HTTP status code.

import withCors from '~/core/middleware/with-cors';
export const action: ActionFunction = async ({}) => {
withCors();
// your logic
}
export default apiHandler;
