LaravelGmail::redirect() doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Hi this suddenly stopped working, I don't understand the reason.

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&access_type=offline&client_id=499611483462-iabp631md5pcuql3jtm16g60qaprs53m.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Femail&state&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2F&approval_prompt=force' (redirected from 'http://localhost:3000/api/gmail/login') from origin 'http://localhost:3000' 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.

Yesterday when I pushed the code, everything was working fine but today morning suddenly it stopped working, any idea why?

Did you figure out why? It doesn't look like an error with the package

[abhimanusharma]

Hi @dacastro4 I finally figured out why this happened and solved it with very bad practice. This error come when I try to redirect the app to oauth page with ajax request instead of direct browser based redirection.

I am using Vue.js in the frontend and Laravel in the backend. If you make a simple get request from blade template and redirect it, it will work but if you make a request from frontend env to backend and then redirect it from there, it will throw this error.

I resolved this issue by sending Laravel::check() value (true or false) and based on that I am redirecting to the oauth route using window.location.href

Update: even if I try to use basic $router.push('/oauth/path') to redirect it, it still do not work. Only window.location.href will work if you are using a js framework in the frontend instead of blade template views.

PS: I have also implemented Draft feature in this package by using core google api client Here

@abhimanusharma Can you show me how to save a mail as a draft using the feature you added on this package?

in my case laravel + angular i solve it like this : public function getOauthGmailUrl() { $url = LaravelGmail::getAuthUrl(); return response()->json(['url' => $url]); }
