i am running an express.js application where i have a route that returns a json object
https://serene-depths-3284.herokuapp.com/chapters?setLng=en-UK
in my controllers folder i have chapters.coffee file which is as follows
# Return the chapters.json based on the language
i18n = require "i18next"
fs = require "fs"
cldr = require "cldr"
__ = require "underscore"
exports.chapters = (req, res, err) ->
fs.readFile "./data/chapters.json", (err, chapterJSON) ->
console.log("read file error", err) if err
tzmChapters = JSON.parse chapterJSON
try
# ...
lngCode = req.query.setLng.split("-")[0]
catch e
# fallback to user locale
lngCode = i18n.lng().split("-")[1]
allCountries = cldr.extractTerritoryDisplayNames(lngCode)
tzmNetwork = []
tzm = __.each tzmChapters, (value, index, list) ->
locale = value.desc.LOCALES.split("-")[1]
tzmNetwork.push({link:value.desc.WEBSITE,contact:value.desc.CONTACT,country: allCountries[locale]})
res.json {tzmNetwork}
the code can be found at https://github.com/TZM/tzm-blade/blob/master/app/controllers/chapters.coffee
and why i try to access the chapters json file from a different site, i get:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:3000/chapters. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8000' is therefore not allowed access.
how do i enable this in my code and is there a better way to do this as i am also using it in the footer.blade file and i read the chapters.json file also in my apps.coffee file https://github.com/TZM/tzm-blade/blob/master/app/config/apps.coffee#L163
any advice is much appreciated.
