Description

It's the equivalent of {% csrf_token %} in Django templates.

It appears that I forgot to document it.

There's a mention in the Jinja2 backend docs. Did you miss it or have another place in mind?

comment:2 by Aymeric Augustin, 9 years ago

I saw that mention but I don't think it's sufficiently explicit about how to use that variable.

We should say that:

  • {% csrf_token %} in Django templates translates to {{ csrf_input }} in Jinja2 templates
  • {{ csrf_token }} works identically in Django templates and in Jinja2 templates

Hi I just uploaded a diff file. Are this the changes needed?
Thanks

comment:6 by Aymeric Augustin, 9 years ago

I believe this information would be more discoverable in the CSRF reference documentation, either in the "How to use it" section or in a new section.

We should talk about:

  • the API offered by built-in template backends
  • requirements for third-party backends, as described in PEP 182 (basically they have to provide a solution, but that solution isn't specified)

This will likely require tweaking the content a bit to clarify that the main examples are specific to Django templates.

ok, I am working on it!

comment:8 by Alberto Julio Leal Rivera, 9 years ago

{% csrf_token %} in Django templates translates to {{ csrf_input }} in Jinja2 templates

This is already specified in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/csrf/#other-template-engines

{{ csrf_token }} works identically in Django templates and in Jinja2 templates

Should I put another example in step # 2 in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/csrf/#how-to-use-it ?, something like

<div style="display:none">
    <input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="{{ csrf_token }}">
</div>

comment:9 by Aymeric Augustin, 9 years ago

The paragraph you just linked to only mentions {{ csrf_token }}, not {{ csrf_input }}.

It's precisely because it's incomplete that I filed this ticket.

Since it's been three weeks without a status update, I'm freeing this ticket up for claiming by a PyCon sprinter.
