I created a restful api with django-rest-framework accessible with this URL http://192.168.33.10:8002/scenarios/ and I'm creating a React app to make calls to the api an d consume its data.
I'm using fetch to make calls to the api
componentWillMount: function(){
this.setState({Problemstyle: this.props.Problemstyle})
fetch('http://192.168.33.10:8002/scenarios/')
.then(result=>result.json())
.then(result=> {
this.steState({items:result})
})
},
when i run my app i get an error in my browser
Fetch API cannot load http://192.168.33.10:8002/scenarios/. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://192.168.33.10:8001' is therefore not allowed access. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
I'm not sure on how to solve this problem as i'm just starting to use React
Please Note: This solution is not for production configuration. This is merely a workaround for easier setup while development. Please refrain from using this in production configuration.
Install django-cors-headers through pip install django-cors-headers
Then, add in installed apps 'corsheaders'.
Add the setting,
CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL = True
and,
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
This should do the trick.
UPDATE
You'll also need to add it to the middlewares,
MIDDLEWARE = [ # Or MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES on Django < 1.10
...
'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
...
]
