Usage


With Context and Headers

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, Depends
from fastapi.responses import ORJSONResponse
from fastapi.templating import Jinja2Templates
from fastapi_csrf_protect import CsrfProtect
from fastapi_csrf_protect.exceptions import CsrfProtectError
from pydantic import BaseModel

app = FastAPI()
templates = Jinja2Templates(directory='templates')

class CsrfSettings(BaseModel):
  secret_key:str = 'asecrettoeverybody'

@CsrfProtect.load_config
def get_csrf_config():
  return CsrfSettings()

@app.get('/form')
def form(request: Request, csrf_protect:CsrfProtect = Depends()):
  '''
  Returns form template.
  '''
  csrf_token = csrf_protect.generate_csrf()
  response = templates.TemplateResponse('form.html', { 'request': request, 'csrf_token': csrf_token })
  return response

@app.post('/posts', response_class=ORJSONResponse)
def create_post(request: Request, csrf_protect:CsrfProtect = Depends()):
  '''
  Creates a new Post
  '''
  csrf_token = csrf_protect.get_csrf_from_headers(request.headers['X-CSRFToken'])
  csrf_protect.validate_csrf(csrf_token)
  # Do stuff

@app.exception_handler(CsrfProtectError)
def csrf_protect_exception_handler(request: Request, exc: CsrfProtectError):
  return ORJSONResponse(status_code=exc.status_code, content={ 'detail':  exc.message }) # Bad Request

With Cookies

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, Depends
from fastapi.responses import ORJSONResponse
from fastapi.templating import Jinja2Templates
from fastapi_csrf_protect import CsrfProtect
from fastapi_csrf_protect.exceptions import CsrfProtectError
from pydantic import BaseModel

app = FastAPI()
templates = Jinja2Templates(directory='templates')

class CsrfSettings(BaseModel):
  secret_key:str = 'asecrettoeverybody'

@CsrfProtect.load_config
def get_csrf_config():
  return CsrfSettings()

@app.get('/form')
def form(request: Request, csrf_protect:CsrfProtect = Depends()):
  '''

  '''
  response = templates.TemplateResponse('form.html', { 'request': request })
  csrf_protect.set_csrf_cookie(response)
  return response

@app.post('/posts', response_class=ORJSONResponse)
def create_post(request: Request, csrf_protect:CsrfProtect = Depends()):
  '''
  Creates a new Post
  '''
  csrf_protect.validate_csrf_in_cookies(request)
  # Do stuff

@app.exception_handler(CsrfProtectError)
def csrf_protect_exception_handler(request: Request, exc: CsrfProtectError):
  return ORJSONResponse(status_code=exc.status_code, content={ 'detail':  exc.message }) # Bad Request
