I'm developing a Phonegap app for my Django based app, but when trying to make Ajax calls I get this error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://domain.herokuapp.com/getcsrf/?tags=jquery%2Cjavascript&tagmode=any&format=json. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.
How can I make it so my Django app allows cross origin for some urls?
Here's my Ajax code:
get: function() {
$.getJSON("http://domain.herokuapp.com/getcsrf/",
{
tags: "jquery,javascript",
tagmode: "any",
format: "json"
},
function(data) {
$.each(data.items, function(item){
console.log(item);
});
});
}
Django by default does not provide the headers necessary to provide cross origin. The easiest way would be to just use this Django app that handles it for you: https://github.com/ottoyiu/django-cors-headers
You can then set whichever domains you want white listed using the settings
CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST = (
'google.com',
'hostname.example.com'
)
to support allowing all, just use the setting...
CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL = True
and then do any filtering of the request in middleware or in the view.
For single views you can manually add headers:
@require_GET
def api_getto(request):
response = JsonResponse(
# your stuff here
)
response["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"] = "*"
response["Access-Control-Allow-Methods"] = "GET, OPTIONS"
response["Access-Control-Max-Age"] = "1000"
response["Access-Control-Allow-Headers"] = "X-Requested-With, Content-Type"
return response
