How do I set up CSRF protection for AJAX requests?

To set up CSRF protection for AJAX requests, you need to include a CSRF token in your requests. This token is usually generated by your server.

How do I generate the CSRF token on the server?

You can generate a CSRF token using libraries available in your server-side framework. For example, in Django, you can use the built-in CSRF middleware.

How do I include the token in my AJAX request?

You can include the CSRF token in the headers of your AJAX request. For example, in jQuery, you can set it like this: $.ajaxSetup({ headers: { 'X-CSRFToken': csrfToken } });.

What if I'm using a different framework?

Most frameworks have similar methods for generating and including CSRF tokens. Check the documentation for your specific framework.
