django-csp-helpers

A set of template tags (and mixins!) to assist in building CSP-enabled websites using django-csp.

Install

1. Add "csp_helpers" to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'csp_helpers',
]

Mixins

django-csp-helpers includes a pair of mixins that can be applied to views and forms to allow for the use of CSP nonces in widgets and form media.

How to use

Simply add CSPViewMixin to your Views, and CSPFormMixin to your Forms or ModelForms. You will need to use both mixins together, they don't work alone.

CSPFormMixin

from csp_helpers.mixins import CSPFormMixin

class ArticleForm(CSPFormMixin, ModelForm):
    ...

CSPViewMixin

from csp_helpers.mixins import CSPViewMixin
from .forms import ArticleForm

class ArticleUpdateView(CSPViewMixin, UpdateView):
    form_class = ArticleForm
    ...

Using only CSPFormMixin

If you are managing your form manually, or not using class-based views, you will not be able to use CSPViewMixin. In these cases, just call your form with csp_nonce as an argument manually, like below.

form = MyFancyForm(csp_nonce=request.csp_nonce)

What it does

The django-csp-helpers mixins will modify and extend your views and forms in two ways.

Form Widgets

Form widgets will be patched to inject a CSP nonce into the rendering context for template widgets. You can access this with {{ csp_nonce }} in your widget templates.

Form Media

Form media (CSS and JS) will be included with CSP nonces.

Template Tags

django-csp-helpers also includes a pair of template tags

render_bundle_csp

An exact replacement for the django-webpack-loader render_bundle tag that includes bundles with CSP nonces.

{% load render_bundle_csp %}

{% render_bundle_csp 'main' 'css' %}
{% render_bundle_csp 'main' 'js %}

media_csp

A less advanced version of the form media functionality provided by the mixins above. Simply load this tag and pass it a form, and it will include the form media with CSP nonces.

{% load media_csp %}

{# include form media #}
{% media_csp myform %}
