Enable CORS for API Gateway in Cloudformation template

0 votes

I'm creating AWS Cloudformation template for my environment and I can't find a way to enable CORS for API Gateway method.

I can configure it using AWS console (here is the official doc), but how can I do it in the Cloudformation template?

I tried this code snippet. but it did not work. CFN was not able to recognise many of options given for OPTION method
You need to set up according to your use case. Also, check the Note part.

After some trial and error, I found that the following CloudFormation template snippet will produce an equivalent OPTIONS method when compared to the CORS console wizard:

OptionsMethod:
  Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Method
  Properties:
    AuthorizationType: NONE
    RestApiId:
      Ref: MyApi
    ResourceId:
      Ref: MyResourceOnWhichToEnableCORS
    HttpMethod: OPTIONS
    Integration:
      IntegrationResponses:
      - StatusCode: 200
        ResponseParameters:
          method.response.header.Access-Control-Allow-Headers: "'Content-Type,X-Amz-Date,Authorization,X-Api-Key,X-Amz-Security-Token'"
          method.response.header.Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "'POST,OPTIONS'"
          method.response.header.Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "'*'"
        ResponseTemplates:
          application/json: ''
      PassthroughBehavior: WHEN_NO_MATCH
      RequestTemplates:
        application/json: '{"statusCode": 200}'
      Type: MOCK
    MethodResponses:
    - StatusCode: 200
      ResponseModels:
        application/json: 'Empty'
      ResponseParameters:
          method.response.header.Access-Control-Allow-Headers: false
          method.response.header.Access-Control-Allow-Methods: false
          method.response.header.Access-Control-Allow-Origin: false

*Note 1: This is an example of taking the defaults for a POST. Obviously, you'll need to update Access-Control-Allow-Methods to include the values you need.

*Note 2: Kudos to the AWS CloudFormation team for recently introducing YAML support. If you need to convert to/from YAML/JSON, I have found this site handy: http://www.json2yaml.com/

Hope it works!!
