Django CSRF check failing with an Ajax POST request

Question

I could use some help complying with Django\'s CSRF protection mechanism via my AJAX post. I\'ve followed the directions here:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/r

Answer 1

If someone is strugling with axios to make this work this helped me:

import axios from 'axios';

axios.defaults.xsrfCookieName = 'csrftoken'
axios.defaults.xsrfHeaderName = 'X-CSRFToken'
