JS code for ajax request
This is because you need to set up CSRF in your AJAX request, same as you'd do in normal request.
Add the following code to your JavaScript:
// This handles generation of CSRF token
function getCookie(name) {
var cookieValue = null;
if (document.cookie && document.cookie !== '') {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
// Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1) === (name + '=')) {
cookieValue = decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
break;
}
}
}
return cookieValue;
}
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
if (!(/^http:.*/.test(settings.url) || /^https:.*/.test(settings.url))) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", getCookie('csrftoken'));
}
}
});

I hope this helps.
Good luck!
