Anti-Forgery Tokens in NancyFX with Razor

Getting started with anti-forgery tokens in NancyFX with razor views is pretty simple.

To start you need to enable csrf in application startup.

 protected override void ApplicationStartup(TinyIoCContainer container, IPipelines pipelines)
 {
  	Csrf.Enable(pipelines);
    base.ApplicationStartup(container, pipelines);
 }

Now you need to create a token on the get request that returns the form

 Get["/"] = x =>
            {
                this.CreateNewCsrfToken();
                return View["Index"];
            };

<!-- more -->

Now in your view you need to render the token

<form method="POST">
    Username <input type="text" name="Username" />
    <br />
    Password <input name="Password" type="password" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Login" />
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
</form>

Finally you need to authenticate the token on the post request

Post["/"] = x =>
{
	try
	{
		this.ValidateCsrfToken();
	}
	catch (CsrfValidationException)
	{
		return Response.AsText("Csrf Token not valid.").WithStatusCode(403);
	}
    //do something
};
