CORS Back-End Starter Project

This project serves as a foundation for handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues when building back-end applications. It demonstrates how to configure a Node.js server to allow or restrict access to external APIs from different origins.

Features

  • Configurable CORS settings
  • Basic server setup for API requests

Installation

  1. Clone or fork this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Thinkful-Ed/starter-cors-back-end.git

  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd starter-cors-back-end

  3. Install dependencies:

    npm install

  4. Start the server:

    npm start

    To run in development mode (with auto-reload):

    npm run start:dev

  5. Set the PORT environment variable if needed. The default is 5555.

Usage

The application starts a server on the specified port, allowing requests from different origins based on CORS configuration. This starter code helps with setting up an API backend that interacts with various front-end clients.

Technologies

  • Node.js: JavaScript runtime for building server-side applications.
  • Express: Web framework for managing server routes and middleware.
  • CORS: Configurable middleware for handling cross-origin requests.
