CSRF

CSRF middleware for Fiber that provides Cross-site request forgery protection by passing a csrf token via cookies. This cookie value will be used to compare against the client csrf token in POST requests. When the csrf token is invalid, this middleware will delete the _csrf cookie and return the fiber.ErrForbidden error. CSRF Tokens are generated on GET requests.

Examples

Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework

import (
	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/csrf"
)

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:

// Initialize default config
app.Use(csrf.New())

// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(csrf.New(csrf.Config{
	KeyLookup:      "header:X-Csrf-Token",
	CookieName:     "csrf_",
	CookieSameSite: "Strict",
	Expiration:     1 * time.Hour,
	KeyGenerator:   utils.UUID,
}))
