 ### `nextjs_server_url`
 
 The URL of Next.js server (started by `npm run dev` or `npm run start`)
 
+### `ensure_csrf_token`
+
+If user does not have a CSRF token, ensure that one is generated and included in the initial request to the NextJS
+server, by calling Django's `django.middleware.csrf.get_token`.  If `django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware` is
+installed, he initial response will include a `Set-Cookie` header to persist the CSRF token value on the client.
+
 ## Development
 
 - Install development dependencies in your virtualenv with `pip install -e '.[dev]'`
