Slim CORS Response Emitter
==========================

[](#slim-cors-response-emitter)

A CORS-aware response emitter for Slim applications.

✨ Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

This library emits HTTP responses with consistent CORS and cache-control headers. It validates the incoming `Origin` against an explicit allowlist and emits credentialed CORS headers only for trusted origins. For public APIs, wildcard origins may be used to allow cross-origin access without credentials.

📥 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require andrewdyer/slim-cors-response-emitter
```

Requires PHP 8.3 or newer.

🚀 Getting Started
-----------------

[](#-getting-started)

The examples below demonstrate how to configure the emitter and emit a Slim response with CORS headers.

### 1. Configure trusted origins

[](#1-configure-trusted-origins)

Provide an allowlist of origins that may receive credentialed CORS responses.

```
$emitter = new CorsResponseEmitter([
    'https://app.example.com',
    'https://admin.example.com',
]);
```

### 2. Emit the response

[](#2-emit-the-response)

After Slim handles the request, pass the response to the emitter.

```
$emitter->emit($response);
```

🧩 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

The emitter resolves CORS headers from the request origin and allowlist configuration:

Scenario`Access-Control-Allow-Origin``Access-Control-Allow-Credentials``Vary`Request origin matches an explicit allowlist entryReflected origin (e.g. `https://app.example.com`)`true``Origin``"*"` in allowlist, no explicit match`*`*(omitted)**(omitted)*No match and no wildcard allowlist entry*(omitted)**(omitted)**(omitted)*### Allow exact origins

[](#allow-exact-origins)

Use explicit origins when endpoints need credentialed cross-origin requests.

```
$emitter = new CorsResponseEmitter([
    'https://app.example.com',
    'https://admin.example.com',
]);
$emitter->emit($response);
```

### Allow any origin for public APIs

[](#allow-any-origin-for-public-apis)

A wildcard origin (`"*"`) may be configured as an allowlist entry to permit requests from any origin. This is suitable for fully public, unauthenticated APIs:

```
$emitter = new CorsResponseEmitter(['*']);
$emitter->emit($response);
```

### Combine exact and wildcard origins

[](#combine-exact-and-wildcard-origins)

Explicit origins and `"*"` may be combined. An exact match always takes precedence and receives the credentialed response. Requests from any other origin fall back to the uncredentialed wildcard response:

```
$emitter = new CorsResponseEmitter([
    '*',
    'https://app.example.com', // receives credentialed response
]);
$emitter->emit($response);
```

Important: the [CORS specification](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#cors-protocol-and-credentials) forbids sending `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true` with `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`. If an endpoint requires cookies, HTTP authentication, or client certificates, use explicit origins.
