I am working on a React frontend that connects to a Laravel API backend. I am facing a CORS error when trying to fetch products using axios. I have tried multiple approaches to resolve the issue, but none of them seem to work.

1. Configured CORS settings in Laravel: I updated the cors.php configuration file to allow all methods and origins:

   php
   

   Copier le code

   return [ 'paths' => ['api/*', 'sanctum/csrf-cookie', '/auth/*'], 'allowed_methods' => ['*'], 'allowed_origins' => ['*'], // For testing purposes; will restrict this in production 'allowed_origins_patterns' => [], 'allowed_headers' => ['*'], 'exposed_headers' => [], 'max_age' => 0, 'supports_credentials' => true, ];

2. Updated the .htaccess file to allow all methods:

   apache
   

   Copier le code

   <IfModule mod_headers.c> Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT" Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type, Authorization" </IfModule>

3. Modified the index function in my Laravel Controller to allow all methods:

   php
   

   Copier le code

   public function index() { return response()->json(Produits::all()); }

4. Cleared caches and restarted the server multiple times to ensure changes are applied.

React Component Code:

I have added logs to check if the fetch function is called. Below is a simplified version of my React component:

javascript

Copier le code

import React, { useEffect, useState } from ‘react’; import axios from ‘axios’; const Produits = () => { const [products, setProducts] = useState([]); const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true); useEffect(() => { const fetchProducts = async () => { try { console.log(‘Calling fetchProducts’); const response = await axios.get(‘https://api.shop-e-com.com/api/products’, { headers: { “Access-Control-Allow-Headers”: “Authorization, Content-Type”, “Access-Control-Allow-Origin”: “*”, ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json; charset=utf-8’, }, withCredentials: true, }); setProducts(response.data); } catch (error) { console.error(‘Error fetching products:’, error); } finally { setLoading(false); } }; fetchProducts(); }, []); return ( <div> {loading ? <p>Loading…</p> : <p>Products loaded.</p>} </div> ); }; export default Produits;

Error Message:

When attempting to fetch the products, I encounter the following CORS error in the browser console:

csharp

Copier le code

Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘https://api.shop-e-com.com/api/products’ from origin ‘https://shop-e-com.com’ has been blocked by CORS policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource.

What am I missing?

• I believe I’ve correctly configured the CORS settings in both my .htaccess and Laravel cors.php files, but the error persists.

• Any guidance on additional steps to troubleshoot or correct this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Additional Context

1. Backend: Laravel 9 with Sanctum for authentication.

2. Frontend: React using axios for HTTP requests.

Attempted Solutions

• Double-checked the headers in both server and client configurations.

• Restarted the server after each configuration change.

• Tested different settings in the CORS configuration file.

Thank you in advance for your help!
