/* Usage example:
1. Create a secure key for CSRF protection:
key := make([]byte, 32)
_, err := rand.Read(key)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
2. Create CSRF middleware with default configuration:
csrfConfig := middleware.DefaultCSRFConfig()
csrfConfig.Secret = key
csrfMiddleware := middleware.CSRF(csrfConfig)
3. Add the middleware to your routing (example with standard http):
handler := middleware.CreateStack(
middleware.RequestID(),
middleware.Logging(logger),
middleware.CORS(corsConfig),
middleware.CSRF(csrfConfig), // Add CSRF protection
)(router)
4. In your HTML templates, include the CSRF token in forms:
<form method="post" action="/protected">
{{ .CSRFField }}
<input type="text" name="username">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Where .CSRFField is provided to the template as:
data := map[string]interface{}{
"CSRFField": middleware.CSRFTemplateField(r),
}
5. For AJAX requests, include the CSRF token in the request header:
// JavaScript example
fetch('/api/protected', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-CSRF-Token': document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').getAttribute('content'),
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
})
// Include meta tag in your HTML:
// <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ .CSRFToken }}">
Where .CSRFToken is provided to the template as:
data := map[string]interface{}{
"CSRFToken": middleware.CSRFToken(r),
}
