Handling CORS Issues in Fetch API

I'm working on a web development project where I'm using the Fetch API to make cross-origin requests to a different domain. However, I'm running into CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues, and my requests are being blocked. I've tried a few solutions I found online, but I'm still having trouble. Here's a simplified version of my code:

 

fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
  });

 

I've heard about using CORS headers on the server-side to allow cross-origin requests, but I'm not sure how to implement them. Can someone guide me on the proper way to handle CORS issues? How do I configure my server to allow requests from my domain? I'm using Express.js on the server side. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you need to own the server your making requests to if you want to fix most cors errors otherwise your f*cked

Adding on to this, a possible solution could be to make a backend route which makes the request for you, then forwards the response of the request to the front end, so in a way, it acts as a proxy for the route.

@Alternate yeah you could have a backend that makes native requests to their api
