Hey @manuchehr 👋

Hey, thanks for the feedback! You’re right that csurf isn’t as actively maintained as it used to be, which is why I've looked into some alternative modules that offer similar CSRF protection functionalities.

Here are a few options:

  • tiny-csrf: A minimalistic CSRF protection module that's designed to be lightweight and easy to integrate.
  • csrf-csrf: This module provides the necessary pieces required to implement CSRF protection using the Double Submit Cookie Pattern. It's a stateless CSRF protection approach. If you’re using sessions and would prefer a stateful CSRF strategy, then you might want to consider the next option.
  • csrf-sync: This alternative is built for the Synchroniser Token Pattern, which is more suitable for session-based authentication, offering stateful CSRF protection.

I appreciate you pointing this out—I'll update the article to include these alternatives along with more detailed comparisons to help readers choose the best solution for their projects. Thanks again for your input!
