get csrf_token value in django template

To retrieve the csrf_token value in a Django template, you can follow these steps:

1. In your Django template, you can use the {% csrf_token %} template tag to generate the csrf_token value. This tag will render an input field with the csrf_token value as its value attribute.

2. To access the generated csrf_token value, you can use the {{ csrf_token }} template variable. This variable will be replaced with the actual csrf_token value when the template is rendered.

3. You can assign the csrf_token value to a JavaScript variable for further use. To do this, you can wrap the {{ csrf_token }} template variable in a <script> tag and assign it to a JavaScript variable using the var keyword.

Here is an example of how you can retrieve the csrf_token value in a Django template:

<form method="POST" action="/submit/">
  {% csrf_token %}
  <input type="text" name="username">
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<script>
  var csrfToken = "{{ csrf_token }}";
  console.log(csrfToken);
</script>

In this example, the {% csrf_token %} template tag generates the csrf_token value, which is then assigned to the csrfToken JavaScript variable. You can then use this variable for any JavaScript operations that require the csrf_token value.
