Support for decorators

I’ve seen in the past people were talking about having support for decorators instead of being stuck with just CORS_URLS_REGEX

I’d like to re-open the request to support decorators so that it’s very easy to limit CORS responses to specific views.

Another vote for this here: I run the Django admin on a domain that also hosts a couple of API endpoints. I want to allow CORS for those endpoints, and I was hoping I could do it with a view decorator rather than having to add a middleware that affects every request to my site.

I’ll use CORS_URLS_REGEX for the moment (somehow I didn’t spot that when scanning the README earlier but it turns out it’s documented there, I just missed it).

Coming from the flask world I feel the same. Working with a single regular expression to convey your rules is a bit clunky, I would much rather decorate an endpoint with specific options.

This is the decorator I typically use with flask-cors: https://flask-cors.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#decorator. It enables setting any of those options per endpoint.
