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

Django CSRF token errors occur when the CSRF token is missing or invalid in a form submission. To fix this, ensure that your forms include the {% csrf_token %} template tag.

What if I'm using AJAX to submit forms?

For AJAX submissions, 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! You can use jQuery 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 after that?

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