Unexpected Access-Control-Allow-Origin header error
I've been trying to figure this out for a while and just can't get it!
I followed the tutorial ( https://scotch.io/tutorials/token-based-authentication-for-angularjs-and-laravel-apps ), but instead of putting Angular inside / public folder, I created an external client.
Using MAMP PRO, I put the API at http: //www.jotbot.local and the client is at http: //www.jotclient.local . When I try to login, it gets this error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.jotbot.local/api/authenticate. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://www.jotclient.local' is therefore not allowed access.
In CORS configuration in Laravel, I have:
return [
'supportsCredentials' => false,
'allowedOrigins' => ['*'],
'allowedHeaders' => ['*'],
'allowedMethods' => ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE'],
'exposedHeaders' => ['*'],
'maxAge' => 0,
'hosts' => [],
];
I'm not sure WHAT to change. Line 'allowedOrigins' => ['*'] or line 'hosts' => [], what needs to be changed?
Also, the client (in my real application) will be publicly available and will be passed to the client whenever it is processed, i.e. I won't know the domains I need to resolve, so I need SOME SUPPORT for the template, so I'm really confused. and the CORS package documentation is hard to find (or I don't know what I'm looking for ... LOL)
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I followed the same tutorial and faced the same problem.
You must add CORS for Laravel 5.1.
Follow the installation instructions and it will work fine.
https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors
Require the barryvdh / laravel-cors package in your composer.json and update your dependencies.
$ composer require barryvdh/laravel-cors 0.7.x
Add Cors \ ServiceProvider to your config / app.php provider array:
Barryvdh\Cors\ServiceProvider::class,
In routes.php file add middleware
Route::group(['prefix' => 'api','middleware' => 'cors'], function()
Or
Route::group(['middleware' => 'cors'], function()
