CORS Missing Allow Origin

Question

My server (written with Django) is running at http://localhost:8000.

The Nuxt application is running at http://localhost:3000.

When I send a request (like http://localhost:8000/api/v1/user/position/) to the server, I get the following error in the firefox browser.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost:8000/api/v1/user/position/. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

Firefox:

Chrome:

I saw this link and this but I do not know where the problem comes from?

Below is a section of my nuxt.config.js file.

modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/axios',
    '@nuxtjs/proxy'
],
axios: {
    baseURL: 'http://localhost:8000/api/v1/', 
},

And function that I'm sending a request:

async getAllPosition() {
    this.loading_position = true;
    await this.$axios.get('user/position/').then(response => {
          this.position = response.data;
    }).finally(() => {
         this.loading_position = false;
        })
 }

I think it's about proxy, but i don't know how to config it.

As @BananaLama and @TMFLGR mentioned in their answers:

I need to specify Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in my Django server to allow request across origins. For this purpose, I used django-cors-headers package.

pip install django-cors-headers

Then allowed it in the settings.py section and the results were well returned.

// settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'corsheaders',
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    ...
]

CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS  = [
    "http://localhost:3000",
]

Result:
