## Description
`cors` plugin can help you enable [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) easily.
## Attributes
| Name | Type | Requirement | Default | Valid | Description |
| ---------------- | ------- | ----------- | ------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| allow_origins | string | optional | "*" | | Which Origins is allowed to enable CORS, format as`scheme`://`host`:`port`, for example: https://somehost.com:8081. Multiple origin use `,` to split. When `allow_credential` is `false`, you can use `*` to indicate allow any origin. you also can allow all any origins forcefully using `**` even already enable `allow_credential`, but it will bring some security risks. |
| allow_methods | string | optional | "*" | | Which Method is allowed to enable CORS, such as: `GET`, `POST` etc. Multiple method use `,` to split. When `allow_credential` is `false`, you can use `*` to indicate allow all any method. You also can allow any method forcefully using `**` even already enable `allow_credential`, but it will bring some security risks. |
| allow_headers | string | optional | "*" | | Which headers are allowed to set in request when access cross-origin resource. Multiple value use `,` to split. When `allow_credential` is `false`, you can use `*` to indicate allow all request headers. You also can allow any header forcefully using `**` even already enable `allow_credential`, but it will bring some security risks. |
| expose_headers | string | optional | "*" | | Which headers are allowed to set in response when access cross-origin resource. Multiple value use `,` to split. |
| max_age | integer | optional | 5 | | Maximum number of seconds the results can be cached.. Within this time range, the browser will reuse the last check result. `-1` means no cache. Please note that the maximum value is depended on browser, please refer to [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Max-Age#Directives) for details. |
| allow_credential | boolean | optional | false | | Enable request include credential (such as Cookie etc.). According to CORS specification, if you set this option to `true`, you can not use '*' for other options. |
> **Tips**
>
> Please note that `allow_credential` is a very sensitive option, so choose to enable it carefully. After set it be `true`, the default `*` of other parameters will be invalid, you must specify their values explicitly.
> When using `**`, you must fully understand that it introduces some security risks, such as CSRF, so make sure that this security level meets your expectations before using it。
## How To Enable
Create a `Route` or `Service` object and configure `cors` plugin.
```shell
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/hello",
"plugins": {
"cors": {}
},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:8080": 1
}
}
}'
```
## Test Plugin
curl to server, you will find the headers about `CORS` is be returned, which means plugin is working fine.
```shell
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello -v
...
< Server: APISIX web server
< Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
< Access-Control-Allow-Methods: *
< Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *
< Access-Control-Expose-Headers: *
< Access-Control-Max-Age: 5
...
```
## Disable Plugin
Remove plugin from configuration.
```shell
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/hello",
"plugins": {},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
