Where to put CORSANYWHERE_WHITELIST variable when setting up demo server on Heroku?

See original GitHub issue

Hi! First off thanks for the great resource. I followed the instructions in the Demo Server section of the readme, but I’m not sure where to place this part to whitelist my specific site:

export CORSANYWHERE_WHITELIST=https://www.boardgamegeek.com/
node server.js

I’ve tried making an .env file with that text. I’ve tried adding it to the Procfile. I’ve tried adding it as a config var as described in the Heroku tutorial. I also tried adding it to originWhitelist key of the corsAnywhere object on line 262 of cors-anywhere.js.

I’m sure the answer is super obvious, but I’m too much of a noob to know where this goes. 😅

Sorry for not being clear. To address your three points:

Heroku
http://localhost:3000 and https://betterbggcollection.com
The BGG XML API

I was able to get it working by just setting the CORSANYWHERE_WHITELIST variable to http://localhost:3000,https://betterbggcollection.com.

Thanks for your help, I’ll go ahead and close this issue out now!

For info, there is a web page at https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/HEROKUNAME-HEROKUID/settings

where you can set config vars:

Heroku config

I have not tested it yet, but I think that is one way to set the config vars mentioned in the README.
