How can I retrieve a CSRF token in my web application?

To retrieve a CSRF token, you typically need to include it in your HTML forms or fetch it via an API endpoint.

Can you show me an example of how to include it in a form?

Sure! You can include it as a hidden input field in your form like this: <input type='hidden' name='_csrf' value='{{csrfToken}}'>.

What if I'm using JavaScript to make an AJAX request?

In that case, you can set the CSRF token in the request headers. For example: headers: {'X-CSRF-Token': csrfToken}.

Is there a way to automatically fetch the token from the server?

Yes, you can create an endpoint that returns the CSRF token, and then call that endpoint when your application initializes.
