apiCorsAllowedOriginList has no effect with .htaccess apache header - CORS Middleware

[Alexis]

Hello,

I succeeded in allowing CORS middleware.
And just wanted to share because I struggled to understand.

Like him in this post, I had to add headers to make the CORS middleware works :

https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/general/108772-trouble-enabling-cors-middleware?p=108791#post108791

And when mod_headers are added then, apiCorsAllowed... in config.php is useless.

So for info here is the code.

data/config.php

return [
'apiCorsAllowedOriginList' => [
0 => 'https://FAKEwebsite.com'
],
'apiCorsAllowedMethodList' => [
0 => 'GET',
1 => 'POST',
2 => 'PUT',
3 => 'PATCH',
4 => 'DELETE',
5 => 'OPTIONS'
],
'apiCorsAllowedHeaderList' => [
0 => 'Content-Type',
1 => 'Accept',
2 => 'X-Api-Key'
],

If it does not work you don't need to modify the config.php.
But you need to add mod_headers to your .htaccess

.htaccess file /public/api/v1/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://LANDINGPAGEwebsite.com"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, OPTIONS"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type, Accept, X-Api-Key"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "true"
</IfModule>

So only one of this file is needed.

Then this in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/routes.json

[
    {
        "route": "/Lead/:id",
        "method": "options"
    },
    {
        "route": "/Lead",
        "method": "options"
    }
]

this in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/api.json

{
"globalMiddlewareClassNameList": [
"Espo\\Tools\\Api\\Cors\\Middleware"
]
}

Have a great day.
