Error CSRF token missing or incorrect while post parameter via AJAX in Django

Question

I try to post parameter like

 jQuery.ajax(
        {
            'type': 'POST',
            'url': url,
            'contentType': 'application/json',
            'data': "{content:'xxx'}",
            'dataType': 'json',
            'success': rateReviewResult 
        }
    );

However, Django return Forbidden 403. CSRF verification failed. Request aborted. I am using 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware' and couldn't find how I can prevent this problem without compromising security.

Hello @kartik,

The simplest way to include the {{csrf_token}} value in the data:

jQuery.ajax(
    {
        'type': 'POST',
        'url': url,
        'contentType': 'application/json',
        'data': {
            'content': 'xxx',
            'csrfmiddlewaretoken': '{{ csrf_token }}',
        },
        'dataType': 'json',
        'success': rateReviewResult 
    }
);

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!
