Enable CORS via app configuration?

[mromanello]

We need our instance of MyDapytains to have CORS enabled, for example, in order to view its content via a third-party viewer.

What we are doing for now is to add flask-cors to requirements.txt and then patch dapytains/app/app.py like this.

But a cleaner and easier to maintain way of doing this could be to add a variable to the .env file that switches on/off CORS, provided that the required dependency is installed.
What do you think @PonteIneptique ?

Hi @mromanello
I think what you are doing is exactly how it should be done (we do it the same way). I think adding something in MyDapytains that does that would probably be adding more dependencies than needed
