What is csrf?

The csrf npm package is used to generate and validate CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens to protect web applications from CSRF attacks. It is commonly used in conjunction with web frameworks like Express to ensure that requests made to the server are legitimate and not forged by malicious actors.

What are csrf's main functionalities?

Generate CSRF Token

This feature allows you to generate a CSRF token. First, you create a new instance of the csrf class, then generate a secret, and finally create a token using that secret.

const csrf = require('csrf');
const tokens = new csrf();
const secret = tokens.secretSync();
const token = tokens.create(secret);
console.log('CSRF Token:', token);

Validate CSRF Token

This feature allows you to validate a CSRF token. You generate a secret and a token, and then use the verify method to check if the token is valid.

const csrf = require('csrf');
const tokens = new csrf();
const secret = tokens.secretSync();
const token = tokens.create(secret);
const isValid = tokens.verify(secret, token);
console.log('Is the token valid?', isValid);
