API Routes with CORS

What this does#

This allows you to create an API endpoint with cors headers

Installing the needed packages#

For this you will just need the cors package

npm install cors

Creating the API file#

API's are stored in the pages/api folder, so for this example you can put cors.js in there

Inside that file, you can initially add the most basic API route, this will return a 200 response with the json shown

export default function handler(req, res) {
  res.status(200).json({ name: 'John Doe' })
}

Helper method#

Now we want to create a helper method for using middleware
