What are Django CSRF errors and how can I fix them?

Django CSRF errors occur when a request lacks a valid CSRF token, which is essential for security. To fix them, ensure that your forms include the {% csrf_token %} template tag.

What if I'm using AJAX requests?

For AJAX requests, you need to include the CSRF token in the request headers. You can retrieve it from the cookie and add it to your AJAX setup.

Can you show me an example of how to do that?

Sure! In jQuery, you can set it up like this: $.ajaxSetup({ headers: { 'X-CSRFToken': getCookie('csrftoken') } }); Make sure to define the getCookie function to retrieve the token.

What if I'm still facing issues?

If issues persist, check your browser's console for errors, ensure your CSRF middleware is enabled, and verify that your form is being submitted correctly.
