Working with CORS requests

There are several ways to add CORS requests handling capabilities to a Symfony application, the fastest and most flexible solution being the NelmioCorsBundle.

This bundle allows you to enable and configure CORS rules very precisely without having to modify your server configuration. See the documentation for installation and usage instructions.

Example usage with the LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle

nelmio_cors:
    ...
    paths:
        '^/api/':
            allow_origin: ['*']
            allow_headers: ['*']
            allow_methods: ['POST', 'PUT', 'GET', 'DELETE']
            max_age: 3600

The important thing to note here is that both the login and api firewalls paths (in our example /api/login_check and /api) must be configured to allow CORS requests.
