In the context of Angular, CORS is an important concept to understand because when Angular
applications communicate with APIs hosted on a different domain, CORS needs to be enabled
on the API server-side to allow the Angular application to make requests to the API.
Angular applications typically use the HttpClient module to make HTTP requests to APIs.
When a request is made to a different domain or origin, the browser will automatically send
a preflight OPTIONS request to the API to check if the requested domain or origin is allowed
to make requests to the API. If CORS is not enabled on the API server-side to allow requests
from the Angular application, the API server will respond with an error and the request will
fail.
To enable CORS on the API server-side, the API must respond with specific headers that allow
the requesting domain or origin to access the API. These headers include Access-Control-
Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Methods, and Access-Control-Allow-Headers,
among others.
Step 1: Create a new component: Run the following command in your terminal to create
a new component:
ng g c cors-example
Step 2: In the cors-example.component.ts file, define the logic for making a CORS request:
@Component({
selector: 'app-cors-example',
templateUrl: './cors-example.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./cors-example.component.css']
})

makeCorsRequest() {
const url = 'http://localhost:3000/products'; // Replace with the desired API endpoint
this.http.get(url).subscribe(
(response) => {
this.responseData = response;
this.errorMessage = "";
},
(error) => {
this.responseData = null;
this.errorMessage = error.message;
}
);
}
}
Step 3: In the cors-example.component.html file, add a button to trigger the CORS request
and display the response:
<div>
<button (click)="makeCorsRequest()">Make CORS Request</button>
</div>
<div *ngIf="responseData">
<pre>{{ responseData | json }}</pre>
</div>
<div *ngIf="errorMessage">
<p>Error: {{ errorMessage }}</p>
</div>
Step 4: Open the app.module.ts file and update it with the following code
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
CorsExampleComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
AppRoutingModule,HttpClientModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Step5: Open the app.component.html file and replace its content with the following line:
<app-cors-example></app-cors-example>
