csrf-meta-interceptor v1.0.1

csrf-meta-interceptor

An AngularJS $http interceptor, sending a CSRF token from html meta elements, e.g. supported in Spring Framework. Inspired by https://github.com/aditzel/spring-security-csrf-token-interceptor.

Usage

Install it

npm install csrf-meta-interceptor --save

You can find the source in node_modules/csrf-meta-interceptor/src/csrfMetaInterceptor.js' and the uglified version in node_modules/csrf-meta-interceptor/dist/csrfMetaInterceptor.js'. Load the source into your html, e.g.

<script src="node_modules/csrf-meta-interceptor/dist/csrfMetaInterceptor.js"></script>

Add interceptor as dependency

var app = angular.module('csrfDemoApp', ['csrfMetaInterceptor']);

That's it, here is how to see it action

app.controller('CsrfCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
	$scope.result = "";

	$scope.testPost = function () {
		$http.post('/api/test').then(function (result) {
			$scope.result = result;
		}, function (result) {
			$scope.result = "Failed: " + result.status;
		});
	};
});

TODO

Possible enhancements include

• tests
• configuration of meta element names, instead of fixed values '_csrf' and '_csrf_header'
• configuration of supported methods (currently fixed POST, PUT, DELETE)
• optionally support for response headers, see https://github.com/aditzel/spring-security-csrf-token-interceptor especially when generating new tokens after validation
