## Description

This project is a CORS header manager and security plugin for Laravel. It functions as middleware that adds Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers to HTTP responses to control how external domains access a Laravel backend.

The software manages cross-origin request policies by defining allowed origins, methods, and headers. It handles pre-flight requests and allows for the restriction of sharing policies based on specific routes.

The package provides API access control and cross-domain resource sharing by integrating custom header logic into the Laravel request lifecycle.
