    var HmacCsrf = require('hmac-csrf')

    var options = {
      'secret'       : '123456',
      'validityDelay': 86400000,      // the delay after which a CSRF token expires, in ms
      'sessionCookie': 'connect.sid'  // the cookie used in the HMAC generation
      'algorithm'    : 'sha256',      // the HMAC algorithm
      'origin'       : null,          // If the HTTP origin header should be used for CSRF protection, put it here
      'templateAttr' : 'locals',      // the '_csrf' token will be set on res[templateAttr]
      'ignore': [                     // do not run CSRF validation for these paths
        '/foo/bar'
      ],

    // set the middleware on express (look at express documentation)
