Cors.ConfigProfiles is here!

Reading Time: 1

After working on my previous blog post, where I had to use the EnableCorsAttribute, I thought: “Why can’t I make profiles for this in the web.config file, like you can for the OutputCacheAttribute?”

Enter my brand new, shiny NuGet package: Cors.ConfigProfiles! It enables you to use the EnableCorsAttribute just like you normally would, but you can also just give it one string parameter which then matches a profile inside the web.config file. So, for example, if you put this attribute on an API controller:

[EnableCors("MyApiProfile")]
public class MyApiController : ApiController {
   ...
}

[EnableCors("MyApiProfile")]

public class MyApiController : ApiController {

...

}

Then you can configure that profile in web.config like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="cors" type="Cors.ConfigProfiles.Configuration.CorsSection, Cors.ConfigProfiles, Version=5.1.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=253caed373cef676" requirePermission="false" />
  </configSections>
  <cors>
    <corsProfiles>
      <add name="MyApiProfile" 
           origins="*" 
           methods="*" 
           headers="*"
      />
    </corsProfiles>
  </cors>
</configuration>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</configSections>

<cors>

<add name="MyApiProfile"

origins="*"

methods="*"

headers="*"

</corsProfiles>

</cors>

</configuration>

And if you want to contribute or just inspect what I did (no unicorns involved though), the code is available on GitHub.
