Situation:

I am attempting build a full SPA using Vue.js as my front end and Django as my back end. These systems are entirely separate (not a hybrid app with the index.html page served by the back end).

Approach

I created a services directory in my Vue-CLI generated project that provides the general accessibility for my REST API via the api.js file (contents below):

import axios from "axios";
import Cookies from "js-cookie";

axios.defaults.xsrfHeaderName = "X-CSRFToken";
axios.defaults.xsrfCookieName = "csrftoken";

const BackEnd = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/"; //local backend from manage.py runserver

export default axios.create({
  baseURL: `${BackEnd}api/`,
  timeout: 5000,
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-CSRFToken": Cookies.get('csrftoken')
  }
});

How do I know there is such a token to get? I wrote an API endpoint that provides the token in the Response headers (shown below):

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Length: 77
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2020 18:04:06 GMT
Server: WSGIServer/0.2 CPython/3.7.6
Set-Cookie: csrftoken=HdM4y6PPOB44cQ7DKmla7lw5hYHKVzTNG5ZZJ2PqAUWE2C79VBCJbpnTyfEdX3ke; expires=Sun, 18 Jul 2021 18:04:06 GMT; Max-Age=31449600; Path=/; SameSite=Lax
Vary: Cookie, Origin
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: DENY

Problem

While my Django REST Framework API is doing a create job serving up all the data for my GET requests, I cannot seem to assign the csrftoken properly to authenticate my POST requests. Even with the X-CSRFToken header appropriately set in my axios request, I still get the typical 403 (CSRF cookie not set) response from the server

Request Headers

Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.89 Safari/537.36
X-CSRFToken: T2Z7pzxKTAuCvBEIjkgRf8RGEEVLYfOyDYkYIcfkWCfSkPB76wCjMMizZvdTQPKg

UPDATE

Okay now this is just a pain! I've got a different token value in A) the Set-Cookie response header, B) the value for the csrftoken in my browser cookies, and C) in the axios POST request. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here?

I simply used this in my vue app, and everything worked smoothly.

axios.defaults.xsrfCookieName = 'csrftoken';
axios.defaults.xsrfHeaderName = 'X-CSRFToken';

axios({
                    method: 'post',
                    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/orders-update',
                    xstfCookieName: 'csrftoken',
                    xsrfHeaderName: 'X-CSRFToken',
                    data: updateIDs,
                    headers: {
                        'X-CSRFToken': 'csrftoken',
                    }
                }).then(response => console.log(response));
