How to Configure CSRF Prevention with Django and Angular
- Add the
{% csrf_token %}
template tag so [Django] will set the csrftoken
cookie
- Serve
index.html
as a Django template by adding the directory and proper loader to the [Django] settings
- Use
django.shortcuts.render
to render the file as a template.
- On the Angular side the key is
HttpClientXsrfModule
, which allows you to customize both the cookie name and header name, but will otherwise take care of adding the header to all of your calls.
HttpClientXsrfModule.withOptions({
cookieName: 'csrftoken',
headerName: 'X-CSRFToken',
})
