How to set up cross-domain resource sharing (CORS) using middleware in the Slim framework

Cross-domain resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows the server to set some in the HTTP response header Additional information to tell the browser whether to allow cross-origin requests. In some projects with front-end and back-end separation, the CORS mechanism can be used to realize the front-end's cross-domain request for the back-end interface.

When using the Slim framework to develop a REST API, we can use middleware (Middleware) to set CORS-related HTTP response headers to allow cross-domain requests. The following is an example to demonstrate how to use middleware to set CORS in the Slim framework.

First, we need to create a custom middleware class to set CORS-related HTTP response headers. Create a file named CorsMiddleware with the following content:

<?php

namespace AppMiddleware;

use PsrHttpMessageRequestInterface;
use PsrHttpMessageResponseInterface;
use PsrHttpServerMiddlewareInterface;
use PsrHttpServerRequestHandlerInterface;

class CorsMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    public function process(RequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler): ResponseInterface
    {
        $response = $handler->handle($request);

        return $response
            ->withHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
            ->withHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS')
            ->withHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type, Authorization');
    }
}

The above code defines a CorsMiddleware class and implements the MiddlewareInterface interface. In the process method, we obtain the requested response object by calling the handle method of $handler, and then use the withHeader method of the response object to set the corresponding CORS header information.

Using this middleware in the Slim framework is very simple, we only need to register the middleware in the application's configuration. In the application's index.php file, add the following code:

<?php

use AppMiddlewareCorsMiddleware;
use SlimFactoryAppFactory;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$app = AppFactory::create();

// 注册CorsMiddleware中间件
$app->add(new CorsMiddleware());

// 添加路由和处理逻辑
$app->get('/', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    $response->getBody()->write("Hello, world!");
    return $response->withHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
});

$app->run();

In the above code, we register the CorsMiddleware middleware into the application through the $app->add method. In this way, each request will be processed by this middleware and the corresponding CORS response header will be set.

Now we can start the Slim application and send a cross-origin request to test whether CORS is working. You can use your browser's developer tools or other HTTP request tools to send an OPTIONS request to the root path of our application. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to see that the HTTP response header contains the Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Methods and Access-Control-Allow-Headers fields, thus allowing CORS cross-domain requests.

Through the above example, we learned how to use middleware in the Slim framework to set up CORS cross-domain resource sharing. This method is very simple and flexible and can be expanded and customized as needed in actual projects. Under the current trend of separation of front-end and back-end, this method is very useful and can help us deal with the problem of front-end cross-domain requests.
