Using CSRF in Jinja2 templates
------------------------------

When using a different template engine than Django's built-in engine, you can
set the token in your forms manually after making sure it's available in the
template context.
Django's :class:`~django.template.backends.jinja2.Jinja2` template backend
adds ``{{ csrf_input }}`` to the context of all templates which is equivalent
to ``{% csrf_token %}`` in the Django template language. For example:

For example, in the Jinja2 template language, your form could contain the
following:
.. code-block:: html+jinja

.. code-block:: html

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

You can use JavaScript similar to the :ref:`AJAX code <csrf-ajax>` above to get
the value of the CSRF token.
    <form action="" method="post">{{ csrf_input }}
