How do I configure CORS for DigitalOcean functions?

Asked by enum.jorge
I created a function and I’m trying to trigger it from javascript. I have a browser application that makes a fetch request, but it fails with a CORS error:
Access to fetch at ‘https://<functionId>.doserverless.co/api/v1/namespaces/<namespaceId>/actions/post-transaction?blocking=true&result=true’ from origin ‘http://localhost:8000’ 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.
I can’t find documentation explaining how to configure CORS for functions. I found some pages that imply functions are associated with Apps in the app platform, but when I created my function namespace, and function they weren’t associated with any app. Not sure if that documentation is out of date? I’ve looked in settings of my function but there is no mention of CORS or how to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

There are two ways to configure CORS for Functions.
You can add CORS headers to the object you return from your function (in the
headersproperty). This will work for functions deployed through standalone Functions and for functions deployed as components in App Platform. When you enable your function to be a web function and invoke it via the web function URL, thebody,headers, andstatusCodeproperties will be used to determine the HTTP response that is returned to the client.If you’re deploying your functions as components in App Platform, you can take advantage of App Platform’s built in CORS support. You can add CORS support via the UI and via the app spec file.
