Module: Hanami::View::Helpers::EscapeHelper

Extended by:
EscapeHelper
Included in:
EscapeHelper
Defined in:
lib/hanami/view/helpers/escape_helper.rb

Overview

Helper methods for escaping content for safely including in HTML.

When using full Hanami apps, these helpers will be automatically available in your view templates, part classes and scope classes.

When using hanami-view standalone, include this module directly in your base part and scope classes, or in specific classes as required.

Examples:

Standalone usage

class BasePart < Hanami::View::Part
  include Hanami::View::Helpers::EscapeHelper
end

class BaseScope < Hanami::View::Scope
  include Hanami::View::Helpers::EscapeHelper
end

class BaseView < Hanami::View
  config.part_class = BasePart
  config.scope_class = BaseScope
end

Instance Method Details

#escape_html(input) ⇒ Hanami::View::HTML::SafeString Also known as: h

Returns an escaped string that is safe to include in HTML.

Use this helper when including any untrusted user input in your view content.

If the given string is already marked as HTML safe, then it will be returned without escaping.

Marks the escaped string marked as HTML safe, ensuring it will not be escaped again.

Examples:

escape_html("Safe content")
# => "Safe content"

escape_html("<script>alert('xss')</script>")
# => "&lt;script&gt;alert(&#39;xss&#39;)&lt;/script&gt;"

escape_html(raw("<p>Not escaped</p>"))
# => "<p>Not escaped</p>"

Parameters:

  • input (String) —

    the input string

Returns:

#escape_join(array, separator = $,) ⇒ Hanami::View::HTML::SafeString

Returns an escaped string from joining the elements in a given array.

Behaves similarly to ‘Array#join`. The given array is flattened, and all items, including the supplied separator, are HTML escaped unless they are already HTML safe.

Marks the returned string as HTML safe, ensuring it will not be escaped again.

Examples:

safe_join([raw("<p>foo</p>"), "<p>bar</p>"], "<br>")
# => "<p>foo</p>&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;bar&lt;/p&gt;"

safe_join([raw("<p>foo</p>"), raw("<p>bar</p>")], raw("<br>"))
# => "<p>foo</p><br><p>bar</p>"

Parameters:

  • array (Array<#to_s>) —

    the array

  • separator (String) (defaults to: $,) —

    the separator for the joined string

Returns:

  array.flatten.map! { |i| escape_html(i) }.join(separator).html_safe
end

#escape_xml_name(name) ⇒ Object

Returns an escaped name from the given string, intended for use as an XML tag or attribute name.

Replaces non-safe characters with an underscore.

Follows the requirements of the [XML specification](www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-Name).

Examples:

escape_xml_name("1 < 2 & 3") # => "1___2___3"

  • 2.1.0

  return "" if name.match?(BLANK_STRING_REGEXP)
  return name if name.match?(SAFE_XML_TAG_NAME_REGEXP)

  starting_char = name[0]
  starting_char.gsub!(INVALID_TAG_NAME_START_REGEXP, TAG_NAME_REPLACEMENT_CHAR)

  return starting_char if name.size == 1

  following_chars = name[1..-1]
  following_chars.gsub!(INVALID_TAG_NAME_FOLLOWING_REGEXP, TAG_NAME_REPLACEMENT_CHAR)

  starting_char << following_chars
end

#raw(input) ⇒ Hanami::View::HTML::SafeString

Returns the given string marked as HTML safe, meaning it will not be escaped when included in your view’s HTML.

This is NOT recommended if the string is coming from untrusted user input. Use at your own peril.

Examples:

raw(user.name) # => "Little Bobby <alert>Tables</alert>"
raw(user.name).html_safe? # => true

Parameters:

  • input (String) —

    the input

Returns:

Use this method when including URLs from untrusted user input in your view content.

The default permitted schemes are:

  • ‘http`

  • ‘mailto`

Examples:

sanitize_url("https://hanamirb.org")    # => "http://hanamirb.org"
