rustlavel-auth 0.7.2

//! The `csrf` middleware.
//!
//! A browser attaches cookies to *any* request it makes to your domain,
//! including one triggered by a form on someone else's site. The session cookie
//! alone therefore proves the visitor is logged in, not that they meant to
//! submit this. The token closes that gap: it lives in the session and has to
//! be echoed back in the request body or a header, which a cross-origin page
//! cannot read and so cannot echo.
//!
//! ```ignore
//! router.middleware(SessionManager::from_config(&config, store)?);
//! router.middleware(Csrf::new().except("/webhooks/"));
//! ```
//!
//! Order matters: the session has to be loaded before the token can be checked.
