Getting Started

Installation

Install this package from the NuGet Package Manager or by running the following in the Package Manager Console

Install-Package LightInject.WebApi.Cors

This package requires both LightInject.WebApi and Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors, which will automatically be installed if they're not already.

Note that because of the dependency on Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors, this library requires .NET 4.5 or up.

Usage

Simply add a call to RegisterCorsPolicies() and EnableCors() alongside your other code. So, for example:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    var container = new ServiceContainer();
    container.RegisterApiControllers();
    container.RegisterCorsPolicies();
    //register other services
    container.EnableCors(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
    container.EnableWebApi(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);              
}

Or for OWIN hosting:

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{                        
    // Configure Web API for self-host. 
    var config = new HttpConfiguration();
    var container = new ServiceContainer();
    container.RegisterApiControllers();
    container.RegisterCorsPolicies();
    container.EnableCors(config);
    // you can also call config.EnableCors(container);
    container.EnableWebApi(config);
    app.UseWebApi(config); 
}

This will automatically discover implementations of ICorsPolicyProvider in the current (or specified) assembly, and register them with LightInject. It will then use the provided container to resolve the policy when required.
