A lightweight jQuery plugin to automatically add Django CSRF token to your AJAX calls

jQuery Django CSRF Plugin

The djangocsrf jQuery plugin makes it easy to use AJAX calls with Django’s CSRF token.

Installation

Download and include the script after the jQuery library and the Cookie library:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/js-cookie/js-cookie@1.5.1/src/js.cookie.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/bfontaine/jquery-djangocsrf@0.1.1/jquery.djangocsrf.js"></script>

Usage

Enable the plugin:

$.djangocsrf( "enable" );

That’s all! After that, all AJAX calls made through jQuery to the current domain will include an X-CSRFToken header set to the client’s token.

Disable the plugin with $.djangocsrf( "disable" ), and query its current state with $.djangocsrf().
