Sets the X-CSRFToken header for every jQuery ajax non-GET request to make CSRF protection easy. This fixes the example from Django docs here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#ajax
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
if (settings.type == 'POST' || settings.type == 'PUT' || settings.type == 'DELETE') {
function getCookie(name) {
var cookieValue = null;
if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
// Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
