# Class: CSRFHandler

## vertx-web-js/csrf_handler~ CSRFHandler

#### new CSRFHandler()

This handler adds a CSRF token to requests which mutate state. In order change the state a (XSRF-TOKEN) cookie is set with a unique token, that is expected to be sent back in a (X-XSRF-TOKEN) header. The behavior is to check the request body header and cookie for validity. This Handler requires session support, thus should be added somewhere below Session and Body handlers.
