Django how to get csrf_token value in the template

Question

{% csrf_token %} outputs a with a form field but, what if I just want the value i..e {{ csrf_token.value }} is this possible? If so how? I have searched online but cannot find any information on how to achieve this.

Answer 1

The csrf_token value is added to the context by django.core.context_processors.csrf, you can use it directly in the template code:

{{ csrf_token }}

This is the value used by the {% csrf_token %} template tag when rendering the form field.
