## CSRF Cookie and React

Because react renders elements dynamically, Django might not set a CSRF token cookie if you render a form using react.
This is described in [the Django docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/csrf/):
> If your view is not rendering a template containing the csrf_token template tag, Django might not set the CSRF token cookie. This is common in cases where forms are dynamically added to the page. To address this case, Django provides a view decorator which forces setting of the cookie: ensure_csrf_cookie().

To fix this problem add the decorator mentioned above to your views:
```python

from django.views.decorators.csrf import ensure_csrf_cookie

@ensure_csrf_cookie
def register_view(request):
    // ...

```
