# Cors

The most question be asked is still about cross-domain issues. In fact, the cross-domain issue is really not a very difficult question to solve. Here I will briefly summarize several cross-domain solutions I recommend.

The most recommended way is cors, full name is Cross Origin Resource Sharing. This solution does not make any difference to the front-end write request as usual. The workload is basically on the back-end. For each request, the browser must first send a pre-request as OPTIONS, to know the server-side HTTP method supported for cross-source requests. After confirming that the server allows the cross-source request, then send the real request with the actual HTTP request method. Details MDN Documentation

The recommended reason is: as long as the first time is configured, no matter how many API interfaces and projects, they can be directly reused, and the cross-domain problem can be solved once and for all, and it can be conveniently used in both the development environment and the formal environment.

But there are always some back-end developers who think cors is too much trouble, they don't want to help the front end to solve cross-domain issues. That pure front-end is also has solutions.

In dev environment, you can use webpack proxy, it is also very easy to use。 It's recommended that you look at the document and we're not going to discuss it here. Some of the author's personal projects use this method

But this method can not used in the production environment. In production environment, you need to use nginx reverse proxy. Whether proxy or nginx, the principle is the same. Solve the cross-domain issues by building a transit server to forward requests.

development	production
cors	cors
proxy	nginx

Here I only recommend these two ways to cross-domain, there are many other cross-domain methods but not recommended.
