How to add CORS request in header in Angular 5

Solution 1:

In my experience the plugins worked with HTTP but not with the latest httpClient. Also, configuring the CORS response headers on the server wasn't really an option. So, I created a proxy.conf.json file to act as a proxy server. This is for development purposes only.

Read more about this here.

proxy.conf.json file:

{
  "/posts": {
    "target": "https://example.com",
    "secure": true,
    "pathRewrite": {
    "^/posts": ""
  },
    "changeOrigin": true
  }
}

I placed the proxy.conf.json file right next the the package.json file in the same directory.

Then I modified the start command in the package.json file:

"start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json"

The HTTP call from my app component:

return this._http.get('/posts/pictures?method=GetPictures')
.subscribe((returnedStuff) => {
  console.log(returnedStuff);
});

Lastly to run my app, I'd have to use npm start or ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json

Solution 2:

You can also try the fetch function and the no-cors mode. I sometimes find it easier to configure it than Angular's built-in http module. You can right-click requests in the Chrome Dev tools network tab and copy them in the fetch syntax, which is great.

import { from } from 'rxjs';

// ...

result = from( // wrap the fetch in a from if you need an rxjs Observable
  fetch(
    this.baseurl,
    {
      body: JSON.stringify(data)
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      method: 'POST',
      mode: 'no-cors'
    }
  )
);

If you are like me and you are using a local SMS Gateway server and you make a GET request to an IP like 192.168.0.xx you will get for sure CORS error.

Unfortunately I could not find an Angular solution, but with the help of a previous replay I got my solution and I am posting an updated version for Angular 7 8 9

import {from} from 'rxjs';

getData(): Observable<any> {
    return from(
      fetch(
        'http://xxxxx', // the url you are trying to access
        {
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          },
          method: 'GET', // GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
          mode: 'no-cors' // the most important option
        }
      ));
  }

Just .subscribe like the usual.

Solution 4:

Make the header looks like this for HttpClient in NG5:

let httpOptions = {
      headers: new HttpHeaders({
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'apikey': this.apikey,
        'appkey': this.appkey,
      }),
      params: new HttpParams().set('program_id', this.program_id)
    };

You will be able to make api call with your localhost url, it works for me ..

• Please never forget your params columnd in the header: such as params: new HttpParams().set('program_id', this.program_id)
