  # Controller actions are protected from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks
  # by including a token in the rendered HTML for your application. This token is
  # stored as a random string in the session, to which an attacker does not have
  # access. When a request reaches your application, \Rails verifies the received
  # token with the token in the session. All requests are checked except GET requests
  # as these should be idempotent. Keep in mind that all session-oriented requests
  # should be CSRF protected, including JavaScript and HTML requests.
  #
  # Since HTML and JavaScript requests are typically made from the browser, we
  # need to ensure to verify request authenticity for the web browser. We can
  # use session-oriented authentication for these types of requests, by using
  # the `protect_from_forgery` method in our controllers.
  #
  # GET requests are not protected since they don't have side effects like writing
  # to the database and don't leak sensitive information. JavaScript requests are
  # an exception: a third-party site can use a <script> tag to reference a JavaScript
  # URL on your site. When your JavaScript response loads on their site, it executes.
  # With carefully crafted JavaScript on their end, sensitive data in your JavaScript
  # response may be extracted. To prevent this, only XmlHttpRequest (known as XHR or
  # Ajax) requests are allowed to make GET requests for JavaScript responses.
  #
  # It's important to remember that XML or JSON requests are also affected and if
  # you're building an API you should change forgery protection method in
  # <tt>ApplicationController</tt> (by default: <tt>:exception</tt>):
  #
  #   class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  #     protect_from_forgery unless: -> { request.format.json? }
  #   end
  #
  # CSRF protection is turned on with the <tt>protect_from_forgery</tt> method.
  # By default <tt>protect_from_forgery</tt> protects your session with
  # <tt>:null_session</tt> method, which provides an empty session
  # during request.
  #
  # We may want to disable CSRF protection for APIs since they are typically
  # designed to be state-less. That is, the request API client will handle
  # the session for you instead of Rails.
  #
  # The token parameter is named <tt>authenticity_token</tt> by default. The name and
  # value of this token must be added to every layout that renders forms by including
  # <tt>csrf_meta_tags</tt> in the HTML +head+.
  #
  # Learn more about CSRF attacks and securing your application in the
  # {Ruby on Rails Security Guide}[http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html].

      # * <tt>:if/:unless</tt> - Turn off the forgery protection entirely depending on the passed Proc or method reference.
      # * <tt>:prepend</tt> - By default, the verification of the authentication token will be added at the position of the
      #    protect_from_forgery call in your application. This means any callbacks added before are run first. This is useful
      #    when you want your forgery protection to depend on other callbacks, like authentication methods (Oauth vs Cookie auth).
      #
      #    If you need to add verification to the beginning of the callback chain, use <tt>prepend: true</tt>.
      # * <tt>:with</tt> - Set the method to handle unverified request.
      #
      # Valid unverified request handling methods are:
      # * <tt>:exception</tt> - Raises ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken exception.
      # * <tt>:reset_session</tt> - Resets the session.
      # * <tt>:null_session</tt> - Provides an empty session during request but doesn't reset it completely. Used as default if <tt>:with</tt> option is not specified.
