Solving the CORS Issue in Laravel 8 for React Applications
If you're building a web application using Laravel 8 for your backend and React with Axios for your frontend, you may encounter a common issue known as CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). This often happens when your APIs, hosted on a subdomain, are not properly configured to allow requests from your local development environment. In this guide, we will explore what CORS is, why you might run into issues, and how to effectively resolve them.
What is CORS?
CORS is a security feature implemented by web browsers that restricts web pages from making requests to a different domain than the one that served the web page. This security feature can lead to errors when you're developing applications that communicate between different domains or subdomains, such as calling APIs hosted at webapi.somedomain.com from a React app running on localhost:3000.
The Problem
You might encounter an error message similar to this while attempting to access your Laravel APIs:

This error is an indication that your server is not configured to allow requests from your React application.
The Solutions
1. Setting Up CORS Middleware
You may have attempted to add the Laravel Custom CORS middleware and installed the fruitcake/laravel-cors package. Here’s a concise recap of what you need to ensure in your cors.php configuration file:

2. Configuring the .htaccess File
In shared hosting, it's crucial to correctly configure your .htaccess file. Make sure that the public folder of your Laravel project is the only part that is directly accessible through the public_html directory. Here are the steps:
Link your index.php: Make sure your index.php file in the public folder links correctly to autoload.php in a non-public directory.
Update the .htaccess Configuration: In the public folder, ensure your .htaccess file contains the following:

3. Clear Your Cache
After making changes to your Laravel configuration, don’t forget to clear your cache to ensure those changes take effect. Run the following command:

Conclusion
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve any CORS-related issues you encounter when interacting with your Laravel APIs from a React application running locally. It’s a common hurdle for many developers, especially those who are still learning. Remember, ensuring proper configurations in both middleware and your .htaccess file is key to a successful connection.
If you continue facing issues, don't hesitate to consult more documentation or community resources, as they are invaluable to developers at all experience levels.
Happy Coding!
