Understanding Supabase Edge Functions
Supabase Edge Functions are serverless functions that allow developers to extend the functionality of their applications by executing code in response to HTTP requests. They are built on top of Deno, a secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, and are designed to be fast, scalable, and easy to deploy.
Identifying the CORS Policy Error
When working with Supabase Edge Functions, you might encounter a CORS Policy Error, which typically manifests as an error message in the browser console indicating that the request has been blocked due to CORS policy restrictions. This error prevents the function's response from being accessed by the client-side application.
Common Symptoms
- Browser console displays a CORS error message.
- Function responses are not accessible from the client-side application.
Explaining the CORS Policy Error
The CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) policy is a security feature implemented by web browsers to prevent malicious websites from accessing resources from a different origin. When a Supabase Edge Function does not include the appropriate CORS headers in its response, the browser will block the request, resulting in a CORS Policy Error.
Root Cause
The root cause of this issue is the absence of the necessary CORS headers in the function's HTTP response. Without these headers, the browser cannot verify that the request is allowed, leading to the error.
Steps to Fix the CORS Policy Error
To resolve the CORS Policy Error, you need to configure your Supabase Edge Function to include the appropriate CORS headers in its response. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Modify the Function Code
Edit your function code to include the necessary CORS headers. Here is an example of how to add CORS headers in a Deno-based function:
export default async (req) => {
const headers = new Headers();
headers.set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
headers.set('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, OPTIONS');
headers.set('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type');
if (req.method === 'OPTIONS') {
return new Response(null, { headers });
}
// Your function logic here
const response = { message: 'Hello, world!' };
return new Response(JSON.stringify(response), { headers });
};
Step 2: Deploy the Updated Function
After modifying the function code, deploy the updated function to Supabase. You can do this using the Supabase CLI:
supabase functions deploy your-function-name
Step 3: Test the Function
Once deployed, test the function by making a request from your client-side application to ensure that the CORS Policy Error is resolved.
