Go CORS handler godoc license build

CORS is a net/http handler implementing Cross Origin Resource Sharing W3 specification in Golang.

Getting Started

After installing Go and setting up your GOPATH, create your first .go file. We'll call it server.go.

package main

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/rs/cors"
)

func main() {
    h := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
        w.Write([]byte("{\"hello\": \"world\"}"))
    })

    // cors.Default() setup the middleware with default options being
    // all origins accepted with simple methods (GET, POST). See
    // documentation below for more options.
    handler = cors.Default().Handler(h)
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", handler)
}

Install cors:

go get github.com/rs/cors

Then run your server:

go run server.go

The server now runs on localhost:8080:

$ curl -D - -H 'Origin: http://foo.com' http://localhost:8080/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: foo.com
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 03:43:57 GMT
Content-Length: 18

{"hello": "world"}

Parameters

Parameters are passed to the middleware thru the cors.New method as follow:

c := cors.New(cors.Options{
    AllowedOrigins: []string{"http://foo.com"},
    AllowCredentials: true,
})

// Insert the middleware
handler = c.Handler(handler)
  • AllowedOrigins []string: A list of origins a cross-domain request can be executed from. If the special * value is present in the list, all origins will be allowed. The default value is *.
  • AllowedMethods []string: A list of methods the client is allowed to use with cross-domain requests.
  • AllowedHeaders []string: A list of non simple headers the client is allowed to use with cross-domain requests. Default value is simple methods (GET and POST)
  • ExposedHeaders []string: Indicates which headers are safe to expose to the API of a CORS API specification
  • AllowCredentials bool: Indicates whether the request can include user credentials like cookies, HTTP authentication or client side SSL certificates. The default is false.
  • MaxAge int: Indicates how long (in seconds) the results of a preflight request can be cached. The default is 0 which stands for no max age.

Overview

Package cors is net/http handler to handle CORS related requests as defined by http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/

You can configure it by passing an option struct to cors.New:

c := cors.New(cors.Options{
    AllowedOrigins: []string{"foo.com"},
    AllowedMethods: []string{"GET", "POST", "DELETE"},
    AllowCredentials: true,
})

Then insert the handler in the chain:

handler = c.Handler(handler)

See Options documentation for more options.

The resulting handler is a standard net/http handler.

Types

type Cors

type Cors struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func Default

func Default() *Cors

Default creates a new Cors handler with default options

func New

func New(options Options) *Cors

New creates a new Cors handler with the provided options.

func (*Cors) Handler

func (cors *Cors) Handler(h http.Handler) http.Handler

Handler apply the CORS specification on the request, and add relevant CORS headers as necessary.

func (*Cors) HandlerFunc

func (cors *Cors) HandlerFunc(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)

Martini compatible handler

func (*Cors) ServeHTTP

func (cors *Cors) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc)

Negroni compatible interface

type Options

type Options struct {
	// AllowedOrigins is a list of origins a cross-domain request can be executed from.
	// If the special "*" value is present in the list, all origins will be allowed.
	// Default value is ["*"]
	AllowedOrigins []string
	// AllowedMethods is a list of methods the client is allowed to use with
	// cross-domain requests. Default value is simple methods (GET and POST)
	AllowedMethods []string
	// AllowedHeaders is list of non simple headers the client is allowed to use with
	// cross-domain requests.
	// If the special "*" value is present in the list, all headers will be allowed.
	// Default value is [] but "Origin" is always appended to the list.
	AllowedHeaders []string
	// ExposedHeaders indicates which headers are safe to expose to the API of a CORS
	// API specification
	ExposedHeaders []string
	// AllowCredentials indicates whether the request can include user credentials like
	// cookies, HTTP authentication or client side SSL certificates.
	AllowCredentials bool
	// MaxAge indicates how long (in seconds) the results of a preflight request
	// can be cached
	MaxAge int
	// Debugging flag adds additional output to debug server side CORS issues
	Debug bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Options is a configuration container to setup the CORS middleware.
