Description
Describe the bug
I have a project which depends on a library which uses SharedArrayBuffer, but I can't get it to work, and always get this error:
ReferenceError: SharedArrayBuffer is not defined
What I need to do
Set
Cross-Origin-Opener-Policyheader tosame-originCross-Origin-Embedder-Policytorequire-corp
What I have tried:
- setting headers in
vite.config.js
export default defineConfig({
server: {
headers: {
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/SharedArrayBuffer#security_requirements
"Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy": "same-origin",
"Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy": "require-corp",
},
},
plugins: [sveltekit()],
});
- Writing a hooks.js file to use custom headers
- Using a middleware in
vite.config.jsto set headers

Research direction
Start with the linked live example and repository, then inspect vite.config.js, hooks.js, and the attempted middleware setup. Verify how the requested Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy headers are handled, and confirm the reproduction no longer reports SharedArrayBuffer as undefined.
