hapi.js cors with auth

Question

Put together the below.

server.route([
  {
    method: "POST",
    path: "/authorize",
    config: { 
      auth: false,
      cors: {
        origin: ['*']
      }
    },
    handler: (request, reply) => {
      ...
      reply.redirect(redirectUrl)
    }
  }
])

I want to use with client-side JavaScript browser fetch API. The cors part is necessary to avoid using the no-cors mode for fetch and to get a non-opaque response. If I use only 'auth in the config section or only cors` they work fine, but together hapi complaints that the configuration is wrong.

Why is that?

Answer 1

inside config object you cannot use key cors . for correct configuration you have to put cors key inside this like this

server.connection({
  port: dbConfig.port,
  routes: { cors: true } // set cross origin by hapi inbuilt property
   // tls: tls
})
