I am trying to put a button on my website which will let the user authorize access to his YouTube account. I am using Passport for the authentication. My code is using fetch to send the request. When I click on the button, I get:
Access to fetch at 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&approval_prompt=force&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fgooglecb&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fyoutube&client_id=...' (redirected from 'http://localhost:3000/google') from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
If I use an href to /google it works.
