Disable CORS in ExpressJS
I have two nodeJS/express applications. For simplicity, I'll say one is hosted on www.example1.com and the other is hosted on www.example2.com. I want to send a POST request from www.example2.com to wwww.example1.com. I do this with the following code:
<form action="www.example1.com" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name"></input>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"></input>
</form>
I only want this to accept requests from www.example1.com. How do I do this? Also, currently, when I do this post request, the POST request is actually going through. I don't understand why. Are there no default settings to prevent against the cross domain requests? How can I put up these settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

the cors middleware package is the standard way to do this
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors
e.g:
const allowedOrigins = ['www.example1.com',
'www.example2.com'];
app.use(cors({
origin: function(origin, callback){
if(!origin) return callback(null, true);
if(allowedOrigins.indexOf(origin) === -1){
const msg = 'The CORS policy for this site does not allow access from the specified Origin.';
return callback(new Error(msg), false);
}
return callback(null, true);
}
}));
