An example of adding CORS headers to a Flask app without using Flask-CORS.
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify, make_response
from werkzeug.datastructures import Headers
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['OPTIONS', 'GET', 'POST'])
def index():
# output all request headers to terminal
print(request.headers)
if request.method == 'POST':
# handle json post data here...
print(request.get_json())
headers = Headers()
headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'OPTIONS', 'GET', 'POST')
headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type')
headers.add('Access-Control-Max-Age', '300')
resp = make_response(
jsonify(
{'msg':'nailed it!'}
)
)
resp.headers = headers
return resp
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
