How do I use CSRF tokens in Django?

In Django, CSRF tokens are used to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. You can include a CSRF token in your forms by using the {% csrf_token %} template tag.

Where should I place the CSRF token in my HTML form?

You should place the {% csrf_token %} tag inside your <form> element, typically right after the opening <form> tag.

What if I'm using AJAX to submit forms?

For AJAX requests, you need to include the CSRF token in the request headers. You can retrieve it from the cookie and set it in 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') } }); where getCookie is a function to read the CSRF token from cookies.
