I am trying to connect my cordova/phonegap application with my node.js server. Problem is, I get this error "XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://127.0.0.1:1234/api/users. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:5000' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 500. " . I tried adding this middleware to my node.js server, entering my phonegap domain, then, just for testing purpouses of course, I figured I will allow ALL domains for CORS, still no luck. This is what I used on my node.js server:
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
// Website you wish to allow to connect
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
// Request methods you wish to allow
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, DELETE');
// Request headers you wish to allow
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'X-Requested-With,content-type');
// Set to true if you need the website to include cookies in the requests sent
// to the API (e.g. in case you use sessions)
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
// Pass to next layer of middleware
next();
});
And I am doing a pretty simple AJAX request from my phonegap application, which I think is pretty much correct. I am getting this error on my phonegap app and on the node.js server console I get an error from one of the controllers, saying can't see property X of undefined, which undefined is my req.body. Here is the request:
var serverURL = 'http://127.0.0.1:1234';
var body = {
userId : '123A',
comment: {
from: '123B',
content: 'I am a new generation of 123! :)'
}
};
var bodyToString = JSON.stringify(body);
$.ajax({url: serverURL + "/api/plates", dataType: "json", type: "PUT", data: bodyToString}).done(function (data) {
alert(data);
});
