How to use Django CSRF token correctly?

I followed the django doc about how to use the CSRF token. (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/)

I understand the first two steps but I got confused on the step 3. In step 3, there are two options.

Option 1: UseRequestContext.

Option 2: Manually generate the CSRF token and add it to the template context.

If I want to use Option 1 and implement a view class from the base view class, do I need to do extra to generate the token?

Thanks.
