Monkeypatch xhr and fetch to automatically add csrf tokens to clientside requests
Clientside csrf made simple
npm install --save csrf-monkey
Default behaviour
Put your csrf token in a meta tag in your head like so:
<html>
<head>
<meta name='csrf-token' content='value'>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
Then call csrf-monkey to patch xhr and window.fetch to automatically include the csrf token in all requests
var axios = require('axios')
var csrfMonkey = require('csrf-monkey')
csrfMonkey()
fetch('/api') // request will include csrf header ('x-csrf-token': value)
axios.get('/api') // request will include csrf header ('x-csrf-token': value)
// csrfMonkey(header, token)
// you can also pass a custom header to csrf-monkey:
csrfMonkey('my-custom-csrf-header')
// and you can pass your csrf token value directly to csrf-monkey if you don't want to include it as a meta tag:
csrfMonkey('my-custom-csrf-header', 'my-csrf-token')
var restore = csrfMonkey()
restore() // Restores everything back to how it was
