django login through javascript

Question

I am attempting to use django for my website. i implemented login using this code:7

user_django = authenticate(username=email, password=passw)
login(request, user_django)

which using django rest framework is working. But when i use it with an ajax request i think its not storing cookies. i am also using a django function to check if the user is logged in:

if request.user.is_authenticated():
        return Response('1')
    else:
        return Response('0')

but it always return 0. Do i have to do anything special on the client side to store the login information?

my javascript login:

function userLogin(){
    var user_email = $('#login_user_email').val();
    var user_pwd   = $('#login_user_pwd').val();

    var data = {email:user_email, password:user_pwd};

    $.ajax(prefix+ 'userLogin/', {
        success: function(output, status, xhr){
            $('#login_btn').click();
        },
        data: data,
        type: 'POST'
    });


}

This is a familiar problem to me and might be duplicate to other question on SO,

look at these, you will find the solution .

• Django CSRF check failing with an Ajax POST request
• "CSRF token missing or incorrect" while post parameter via AJAX in Django
• JQuery + AJAX + Django = CSRF ?
