I have a problem:
Here's my client.js code:
$(document).ready(function () { var data = { title: "title", message: "message" }; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "http://localhost:8080/ls", contentType: "application/json", dataType: "json", data: JSON.stringify(data), crossDomain: true, success: function (data) { console.log(data); console.log(999); }, error: function (err) { console.log(err); } }); });

and my server.js code:
`var express = require('express');
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var path = require('path');

var app = express();

app.set('views', 'public');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.render('home');
});

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE');
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type');
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
next();
});

app.set('views', 'views');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'public'))
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.render('corason');
});

app.post('/ls', function (req, res) {
console.log('body: ' + JSON.stringify(req.body));
res.send(req.body);
});

app.listen(8080, function () {

console.log('SERVER STARTED ON PORT 8080');

});`

when the ajax does the request I get:
XML Parsing Error: no root element found Location: http://localhost:8080/ls Line Number 1, Column 1: ls:1:1

Please help!

Hello I have this Error --> Failed to load http://localhost:3333/endpoint: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.

What should I do? Thanks.

Thanks, I have used the following for this purpose and totally nailed the issue:
`var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var cors = require('cors');

app.use(cors());

const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json())

app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
return res.send({ "statusCode": util.statusCode.ONE, "statusMessage": util.statusMessage.SOMETHING_WENT_WRONG });
});

app.post('/post', function(req, res){
var response = {
'dest': '/public/'
}
res.send(response);
});
app.listen(3000);`
