cors-it
Add CORS to anything!
cors-it is a Node app which acts as a proxy for arbitrary URLs, adding CORS-compliant headers:
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-headers: Content-Type, api_key, Authorization
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, DELETE, PUT, PATCH, OPTIONS
to the response.
Running cors-it
After cloning this repo, run
$ cd cors-it
$ npm install
to resolve the dependencies. (See How to install npm if you are new to Node and npm.)
Set the PORT environment variable to an available port (for example, 9009; the default is 3000), and run cors-it with
$ PORT=9009 node index.js
Using cors-it
Pass a URL as the url query parameter
http://localhost:9009/?url=http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com/api/api-docs
and cors-it will return that resource and its headers and add CORS headers.
You can test your cors-it proxy with curl(1):
curl -D - 'http://localhost:9009/?url=http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com/api/api-docs'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

If you are using swagger-editor, you can configure the editor to use your cors-it proxy in app/scripts/enums/defaults.js ; just change the value of importProxyUrl to your host/port, such as
importProxyUrl: 'http://localhost:9009/?url='
Start cors-it as described above, then start swagger-editor. You should now be able to import a URL into swagger-editor from arbitrary URLs.
