Delete plugin record via ajax I have been staring at this SE post on deleting using ajax and it's just not clicking.

For example, I have a plugin with a list of users. Each user has a delete icon next to it.

template

....
&lt;td class="thin"&gt;&lt;a class="delete delete-usericon" title="Delete" role="button" data-id="{{user.id}}" data-name={{user.name}}&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
....


To get my javascript, I am using the init method in my main plugin class.

MyPlugin.php

if (craft-&gt;request-&gt;isCpRequeset() &amp;&amp; craft()-&gt;userSession-&gt;isLoggedIn())
{
    craft-&gt;template-&gt;includeJsResource('path/to/script.js');
}


So far, so good.

script.js

....
$('.delete-user').click(function(event){
    var data = {
        'id': event.currentTarget.dataset.id,
        'csrfToken': // this is where i'm stuck
    };

    $.ajax({
        'type': 'post',
        'contentType': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8',
        'cache': false,
        'url': 'path/to/deleteUser',
        'data': data,
        'dataType': 'json',
         'timeout': 5000
    }).done(function(status){
        console.log(status);
    }).fail(function(error){
        console.log(error);
    })
});
....


UserController.php

....
actionDeleteUser() {
    $this-&gt;requireAjaxRequest();
    error_log(__FUNCTION__); // to just test im getting this far.
}


As you can imagine, I'm getting a 400 Bad Request The CSRF token could not be verified.

I can put a hidden text field on my users "home page" using {{getCsrfInput}} and then grab that value no problem. 

If I log out my data object, I can see it's got the correct id and csrfToken but I will still get the 400. 

I'm not sure how to pass the token along with the data to the controller just yet it seems.

Thank you for your time!

EDIT

Well, I believe I see my error, but I'm confident there is a better way (at least I think there could be)

I wasn't passing the correct name/key.

script.js

var data = {
     'id': event.currentTarget.dataset.id,
     'CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN': $('[name="CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN"]).val()
}


I'm getting a 404 back now - great. I can figure that out. What i'm curious about is: Is there a better way?

I've put the {{getCsrfInput}} on my "home" page of my plugin that lists the users. I feel like i've just done a nice hack-job on my plugin.
