[Answer]-CSRF verification failed. Request aborted. in django ajax post

Follow django documentation:

add javascript code to your pages to send csrf value with ajax requests:

function getCookie(name) {
    var cookieValue = null;
    if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
        var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
        for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
            var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
            // Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
            if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1) == (name + '=')) {
                cookieValue = decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return cookieValue;
}
var csrftoken = getCookie('csrftoken');

function csrfSafeMethod(method) {
    // these HTTP methods do not require CSRF protection
    return (/^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|TRACE)$/.test(method));
}
$.ajaxSetup({
    beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
        if (!csrfSafeMethod(settings.type) && !this.crossDomain) {
            xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", csrftoken);
        }
    }
});

You can use a middleware to avoid csrf checks for all ajax posts, use it before csrf middleware.

class DisableCSRF(object):
    def process_request(self, request):
       if request.is_ajax():
          setattr(request, '_dont_enforce_csrf_checks', True)

Yeah its a quick and dirty solution, but i use it for my rest api backend which doesn’t use cookies.
