fastapi-cors 0.0.3

Simple env support of CORS settings for Fastapi applications

fastapi-cors

A simply scoped abstraction to provide CORS settings via environment variables to a Fastapi application.

Usage

from fastapi import FastAPI

# during this next line `fastapi_cors.env` will read environment variables from .env
from fastapi_cors import CORS 

app = FastAPI()

CORS(app)

Opinions

A health check route is optionally added that displays these (but not other) environment variables.

If you want to disable it, use the code below

from fastapi import FastAPI

# during this next line `fastapi_cors.env` will read environment variables from .env
from fastapi_cors import CORS 

app = FastAPI()

CORS(app, include_health_check=False)

Config

Configure FastAPI as usual. Extra arguments (that can be accessed from app.extra):

Name	Default	Description
HOST	0.0.0.0	Displayed in the Swagger title, with app.title.
PORT	8000	Where to mount the static directory. Disabled if value is falsy.
LOG_LEVEL	info	log level.
ALLOW_ORIGINS	["http://localhost","http://localhost:3000"]	A list of origins that should be permitted to make cross-origin requests. E.g. ['https://example.org', 'https://www.example.org']. You can use ['*'] to allow any origin. These are the URLs clients can make requests from
ALLOWED_CREDENTIALS	True	Indicate that cookies should be supported for cross-origin requests. Also, allow_origins cannot be set to ['*'] for credentials to be allowed, origins must be specified.
ALLOWED_METHODS	["*"]	A list of HTTP methods that should be allowed for cross-origin requests. Defaults to ['*'] to allow all standard methods. You can use ['GET'] to reduce the list.
ALLOWED_HEADERS	["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"]	A list of HTTP request headers that should be supported for cross-origin requests. You can use ['*'] to allow all headers. The Accept, Accept-Language, Content-Language and Content-Type headers are always allowed for simple CORS requests

See the FastAPI documentation on CORS for more information
