+### Handling CORS Preflight Requests
+
+You may enable handling of CORS preflight requests for your routes using the `preflight` setting. This ensures that the router will respond to `OPTIONS` requests with a status code 200 and no content, allowing cross-origin requests to proceed.
+
+**Example**
+
+```php
+// single route
+SimpleRouter::form('foo', function () {
+    // ...
+})->setSettings(['preflight' => true]);
+
+// group routes
+SimpleRouter::group(['preflight' => true], function () {
+    SimpleRouter::form('foo', function() {
+        // ...
+    });
+});
+```
+
+- Requesting `OPTIONS /foo` will return `HTTP/1.1 200 OK`.
+- Requesting `POST /foo` will proceed normally.
+
 ### Regular expression constraints
 
 You may constrain the format of your route parameters using the where method on a route instance. The where method accepts the name of the parameter and a regular expression defining how the parameter should be constrained:
