[Django]-Sending a jQuery POST to a Django View

by

✅

What I do for getting a proper csrf solution in place is this:

include my {% csrf_token %} in a place it makes sense.

var csrfToken = $('input[name="csrfmiddlewaretoken"]').val();
$.ajax({
    url: $form.attr('action'),
    type: 'POST',
    data: postData,
    csrfmiddlewaretoken: csrfToken,
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data) { }
});

I have struggled to get this working:

var csrftoken = $.cookie('csrftoken');
$.ajaxSetup({
    beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
        xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", csrftoken);
    }
});

But so far the first solution has proven to be the one that works best.
