How can I support cors when using restify

Question

I have a REST api created with the restify module and I want to allow cross-origin resource sharing. What is the best way to do it?

Answer 1

You have to set the server up to set cross origin headers. Not sure if there is a built in use function or not, so I wrote my own.

server.use(   function crossOrigin(req,res,next){     res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");     res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With");     return next();   } ); 

I found this from this tutorial. http://backbonetutorials.com/nodejs-restify-mongodb-mongoose/
