I am trying to send a post request to my rails api using angular js post request but I am getting this error :
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:3000/api/v1/dis_generics. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:9000' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 404.
I am trying to find a way how to send a post request using angular to rails api . My controller in rails is like this :
class DisGenericsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_dis_generic, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token
# GET /dis_generics
# GET /dis_generics.json
def index
# @dis_generics = DisGeneric.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.json { render json: DisGenericDatatable.new(view_context) }
end
end
# GET /dis_generics/1
# GET /dis_generics/1.json
def show
end
# GET /dis_generics/new
def new
@dis_generic = DisGeneric.new
end
# GET /dis_generics/1/edit
def edit
end
# POST /dis_generics
# POST /dis_generics.json
def create
@dis_generic = DisGeneric.new(dis_generic_params)
respond_to do |format|
if @dis_generic.save
format.html { redirect_to @dis_generic, notice: 'Dis generic was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @dis_generic }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: @dis_generic.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PATCH/PUT /dis_generics/1
# PATCH/PUT /dis_generics/1.json
def update
respond_to do |format|
if @dis_generic.update(dis_generic_params)
format.html { redirect_to @dis_generic, notice: 'Dis generic was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @dis_generic }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: @dis_generic.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /dis_generics/1
# DELETE /dis_generics/1.json
def destroy
@dis_generic.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to dis_generics_url, notice: 'Dis generic was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_dis_generic
@dis_generic = DisGeneric.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def dis_generic_params
params.require(:dis_generic).permit(:name, :is_combination, :rxcui, :status_id, :food_id, :hepatic_id, :renal_imp_id, :release_status_id, :is_essential)
end
end
and this is my angular request :
var req = {
method: 'POST',
url: 'http://localhost:3000/api/v1/dis_generics',
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
data: {}
}
$http(req).success(function(data, status, header, config) {
alert( "failure message: " + JSON.stringify({data: data})); });
This is my application controller :
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
# Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
# For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
include StaticPagesHelper
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
before_filter :cors_preflight_check
after_filter :cors_set_access_control_headers
protect_from_forgery unless: -> { request.format.json? }
def cors_set_access_control_headers
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Methods'] = 'POST, GET, OPTIONS'
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Headers'] = '*'
headers['Access-Control-Max-Age'] = "1728000"
end
# If this is a preflight OPTIONS request, then short-circuit the
# request, return only the necessary headers and return an empty
# text/plain.
def cors_preflight_check
if request.method == :options
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Methods'] = 'POST, GET, OPTIONS'
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Headers'] = '*'
headers['Access-Control-Max-Age'] = '1728000'
render :text => '', :content_type => 'text/plain'
end
end
end
