In this post we will learn to enable cors in spring boot rest API

For security reasons, browsers prohibit AJAX calls to resources residing outside the current origin.

While we facing cors issue, we need to enable cors in spring boot application explicitly

Enable for whole spring boot

We need to add below class in our spring boot application, this will enable cors for all endpoints

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.CorsRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
public class CorsConfig {

	public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigure() {
		return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
			public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
				registry.addMapping("/**");
			}
		};
	}

}

Enable for specific endpoint

Below snippet will enable cors only for endpoint which starts with /api

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.CorsRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
public class CorsConfig {

	public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigure() {
		return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
			public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
				registry.addMapping("/api/**");
			}
		};
	}

}

Enable for specific orgins

Below snippet will enable for orgin https://beginnersbug.com

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.CorsRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
public class CorsConfig {

	public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigure() {
		return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
			public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
				registry.addMapping("/api/**")
				.allowedOrigins("https://beginnersbug.com");
			}
		};
	}

}

Enable CORS with Annotation

we can enable cors by annotation. we need to mention @crossOrgin annotation in the controller class as like below

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

import javax.validation.Valid;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.CrossOrigin;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.beginnersbug.studentservice.dao.StudentDao;
import com.beginnersbug.studentservice.model.Student;

@RestController()
@CrossOrigin()
@RequestMapping("/api/student")
public class StudentController {

	@Autowired
	StudentDao studentsDao;

	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public List<Student> getStudentsList() {
		return studentsDao.findAll();
	}
}
