To get CSRF protection with jQuery AJAX calls:

- Copy the following script:

  ::

    ./misc/django_ajax_csrf.js

  ...to the static resource folder of your project e.g:

  ::

    myapp/myapp/static/js/common/django_ajax_csrf.js

- Include the file in your HTML page e.g:

  ::

    <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/common/django_ajax_csrf.js"></script>

- Here is a sample jQuery AJAX call which will automatically use the above
  script:

  .. code-block:: js

    jQuery.post(
        "/scratchpad/json/",
        ko.toJSON(viewModel.villages()),
        function(data) {
            console.log(data);
        }
    );
