30641	Update docs for using CSRF with Ajax.	JeroenvO	nobody	"Docs state: (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/csrf/)
In order to get CSRF token in Javascript, for instance for an AJAX request.

{{{
{% csrf_token %}
<script type=""text/javascript"">
var csrftoken = jQuery(""[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]"").val();
</script>
}}}

but since {{ csrf_token }} is available in the context, a much cleaner version would be:


{{{
<script type=""text/javascript"">
// using jQuery
var csrftoken = '{{ csrf_token }}';
</script>
}}}
