How to enable CORS in ASP.net Core WebAPI

by

Because you have a very simple CORS policy (Allow all requests from XXX domain), you don’t need to make it so complicated. Try doing the following first (A very basic implementation of CORS).

If you haven’t already, install the CORS nuget package. 

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cors

In the ConfigureServices method of your startup.cs, add the CORS services. 

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddCors(); // Make sure you call this previous to AddMvc
    services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
}

Then in your Configure method of your startup.cs, add the following : 

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    // Make sure you call this before calling app.UseMvc()
    app.UseCors(
        options => options.WithOrigins("http://example.com").AllowAnyMethod()
    );

    app.UseMvc();
}

Now give it a go. Policies are for when you want different policies for different actions (e.g. different hosts or different headers). For your simple example you really don’t need it. Start with this simple example and tweak as you need to from there.
