CORS Issue on only some API calls

I have multiple API calls on my project deployed to vercel but only some of them face CORS issues, for example:

import { db } from "../../lib/db";

export async function GET() {
  const start = performance.now();

  try {
    const posts = await db.subjects.findMany({
      select: {
        id: true,
        name: true,
      },
    });
    const end = performance.now();
    console.log(`API call took ${end - start} milliseconds`);
    return new Response(JSON.stringify(posts));
  } catch (error) {
    return new Response(null, { status: 500 });
  }
}

import { db } from "../../lib/db";

export async function GET() {
  const start = performance.now();

  try {
    const posts = await db.subjects.findMany({
      select: {
        id: true,
        name: true,
      },
    });
    const end = performance.now();
    console.log(`API call took ${end - start} milliseconds`);
    return new Response(JSON.stringify(posts));
  } catch (error) {
    return new Response(null, { status: 500 });
  }
}

works perfectly fine however

import { db } from "../../lib/db";

const headers = {
  "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "https://examvault.vercel.app",
  "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "GET, OPTIONS",
  "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Content-Type",
};

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  try {
    const url = new URL(request.url);
    const name = url.searchParams.get("name") || "";
    console.log("Received subject name:", name);

    const subjects = await db.topic.findMany({
      where: {
        name: {
          equals: name,
        },
      },
      select: {
        id: true,
      },
    });

    if (subjects.length === 0) {
      return new Response(null, { status: 404 });
    }

    const { id } = subjects[0];

    const headers = {
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin":
        "https://examvault-danielarbabian.vercel.app",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "*",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Content-Type",
    };

    return new Response(JSON.stringify(id));
  } catch (error) {
    return new Response(null, { status: 500 });
  }
}

import { db } from "../../lib/db";

const headers = {
  "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "https://examvault.vercel.app",
  "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "GET, OPTIONS",
  "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Content-Type",
};

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  try {
    const url = new URL(request.url);
    const name = url.searchParams.get("name") || "";
    console.log("Received subject name:", name);

    const subjects = await db.topic.findMany({
      where: {
        name: {
          equals: name,
        },
      },
      select: {
        id: true,
      },
    });

    if (subjects.length === 0) {
      return new Response(null, { status: 404 });
    }

    const { id } = subjects[0];

    const headers = {
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin":
        "https://examvault-danielarbabian.vercel.app",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "*",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Content-Type",
    };

    return new Response(JSON.stringify(id));
  } catch (error) {
    return new Response(null, { status: 500 });
  }
}

doesn't work when visiting the production URL despite the first one working. I get this error: Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost:3000/api/fetchtopicid?name=electricity' from origin '' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Solution:

```ts //You can do it like this. export async function GET(request: Request) { return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {...

U can try with "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*" to see if its working

wlvzOP•2y ago

didn't work sadly, what confuses me is that the api call withou any CORS configuration works but the second one doesn't work

Maj•2y ago

did you try it without cors headers?

wlvzOP•2y ago

yeah, still didn't work

Maj•2y ago

you probably need a cors middleware then. if you make const headers variable will that automaticly append it to the headers?
