To enable CORS in Laravel, you can use the barryvdh/laravel-cors package. Here's how you can do it:

1. Install the package using composer:

1

composer require barryvdh/laravel-cors

1. Add the CorsServiceProvider to your config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    ...
    BarryvdhCorsServiceProvider::class,
    ...
]

1. Publish the configuration file:

1

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="BarryvdhCorsServiceProvider"

This will create a new cors.php configuration file in your config directory.

1. Update the config/cors.php file with your desired configurations:

'paths' => ['api/*'],

'allowed_origins_patterns' => [],
'allowed_headers' => ['Content-Type', 'X-Requested-With'],
'exposed_headers' => [],
'max_age' => 0,
'supports_credentials' => false,

You can customize these settings based on your specific requirements.
