Angular2 and Laravel CSRF protection

I have already read some topics

And the problem I encountered is lies in this piece of code

<meta property="csrf-token" name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

I'm using Angular2 as core engine, which sending AJAX requests to Laravel API and I'm not using blade templates - just .html files, so I can't call php function csrf_token() from html file

So, I added a temporary solution by extending my /var/www/pandacrm/app/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php file

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if ( ! $request->is('api/*'))
    {
        return parent::handle($request, $next);
    }

    return $next($request);
}

But it seems not the best way to work around, is there any other solutions to resolve this issue?

You can create a meta tag with csrf-token by using JavaScript in your html file!

How to do this:

Send an Ajax request to Laravel Route to get token. (return csrf-token in a Controller action) And then create a meta tag with that token in your html file.

But before doing this, you have to disable csrf protection on that specific route. There is a way to do this here for laravel5 and here for 5.3.

Now you have a meta tag with csrf that can be used for other ajax requests.
