why use npm cors code example

Example 1: allow cross origin node

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
  next();
});

Example 2: cors express

var allowedOrigins = ['http://localhost:3000',
                      'http://yourapp.com'];
app.use(cors({  
  origin: function(origin, callback){
    // allow requests with no origin     
    // (like mobile apps or curl requests)    
    if(!origin) 
      return callback(null, true);    
    if(allowedOrigins.indexOf(origin) === -1){
      var msg = 'The CORS policy for this site does not ' +                
          'allow access from the specified Origin.';      
      return callback(new Error(msg), false);    
    }    
    return callback(null, true);  
  }
}));
