You should also not extend the sanitizer to whitelist the following
tags: script, style, noscript.

In order to prevent additional attacks, this library should only be used if the following requirements are met: UTF-8 character set, JavaScript environment
(NodeJS or Browser), and modern browsers (IE11, Edge, Safari, Chrome, Firefox,
Opera, iOS Safari, and Mobile Chrome).

For more information about inserting the sanitized string safely, see this

js-xss is lightweight (5.5k gzipped)
library with an MIT license. It is also highly customizable
and works well in both Node.js applications and in the browser.

$3

Using npm:

`sh
npm install --save @esri/arcgis-html-sanitizer
`

Using Yarn:

`sh
yarn add @esri/arcgis-html-sanitizer
`

#### Import

ES Modules

`js
import { Sanitizer } from "@esri/arcgis-html-sanitizer";
`

CommonJS

`js
const Sanitizer = require("@esri/arcgis-html-sanitizer").Sanitizer;
`

AMD (Use UMD version in ./dist/umd folder)

`js
define(['path/to/dist/umd/arcgis-html-sanitizer'], function(Sanitizer) {
...
})
`

Load as script tag

`html





`

#### Basic Usage

`js
// Instantiate a new Sanitizer object
const sanitizer = new Sanitizer();

// Sanitize a string
const sanitizedHtml = sanitizer.sanitize(
''
);
// sanitizedHtml =>

// Check if a string contains invalid HTML
const validation = sanitizer.validate(
''
);
// validation => {
// isValid: false
// sanitized: ''
// }
`

#### Sanitize JSON

In addition to sanitizing strings, this utility also allows you to sanitize full
JSON objects. This can be useful if you want to sanitize all the app data
returned from the server before using it in your application.

If the value passed does not contain a valid JSON data type (String,
Number, JSON Object, Array, Boolean, or null), the value will be nullified.

WARNING: You should never concatenate strings from multiple values in the
JSON. Strings values may be safe and pass the sanitizer when separated but
become dangerous after they are concatenated. This is intended as a convenience
method only. You should run the strings through the sanitizer again after they
have been concatenated.

`js
// Instantiate a new Sanitizer object
const sanitizer = new Sanitizer();

// Deeply sanitize a JSON object
const sanitizedJSON = sanitizer.sanitize({
sample: ['']
});

// sanitizedJSON => {
// "sample": [""]
// }
`

#### Sanitize URLs

The ability to sanitize URL strings has been specifically broken out to a public
method, sanitizeUrl. This can be very useful if you want to sanitize URLs
according to the built-in rules, yet you don't want to necessarily extend the
whitelist and implement custom filtering options to force sanitization of
specific tag attributes.

`js
// Instantiate a new Sanitizer object
const sanitizer = new Sanitizer();

// Sanitize a URL with a valid protocol
const supportedProtocol = sanitizer.sanitizeUrl(
"https://example.com/about/index.html"
);

// supportedProtocol => "https://example.com/about/index.html"

// Sanitize a URL with an invalid protocol
const unsupportedProtocol = sanitizer.sanitizeUrl(
"smb://example.com/path/to/file.html"
);

// unsupportedProtocol => ""
`

#### Sanitize HTML Attribute Values

To prevent against XSS, untrusted data going into HTML attribute values need to be
sanitized,
including style attribute values.
The ability to sanitize HTML attribute values has been specifically broken out to a public
method, sanitizeHTMLAttribute, specifying the tagname, attribute name, and value.

`js
// Instantiate a new Sanitizer object
const sanitizer = new Sanitizer();

// Sanitize a safe alt attribute value
const unquotedAttribute = sanitizer.sanitizeHTMLAttribute('img', 'alt', 'A picture');

// unquotedAttribute => "A picture"

// Sanitize an unsafe alt attribute value
const quotedAttribute = sanitizer.sanitizeHTMLAttribute('img', 'alt', '"A picture"');

// quotedAttribute => ""A picture""

// Sanitize unsafe style attribute value
const styles = sanitizer.sanitizeHTMLAttribute(
'div',
'style',
'background-image:url("javascript:alert(\"xss\")")'
);

// styles => ""
`

Optionally, a custom filter for style attributes can be provided as the final argument, which will be used in place of the default js-xss style attribute filter.
`js

const styles = sanitizer.sanitizeHTMLAttribute('div', 'style', 'color:red;', {
process: (value: string) => value.indexOf('color') !== -1 ? '' : value / or additional filtering here /
});

// styles => ""

`

#### Encode HTML
The encodeHTML method encodes a well-defined set of characters within an HTML string to their hexadecimal HTML entity codes to ensure safe display of the string to the end user. This encodes HTML tags for display as text within an HTML page, it does not sanitize the string to prevent XSS. If you are looking to sanitize, use the sanitize method instead.

* & → 8
* < → <
* > → >
* " → "
* ' → '
* / → /


`js
const sanitizer = new Sanitizer();

const input = a link;
sanitizer.encodeHTML(input);
// => "<a href="javascript:alert(document.cookies)">a link</a>"
`

#### Encode Attribute Values
The encodeAttrValue method encodes all non-alphanumeric ASCII characters to their hexadecimal HTML entity code to ensure safe use as an HTML attribute. This method only encodes characters. It does not directly sanitize the string to remove XSS. If you are looking to sanitize your string, use the sanitizeHTMLAttribute method instead.

`js
const sanitizer = new Sanitizer();

const input = "javascript:alert(document.cookies)";
sanitizer.encodeAttrValue(input);
// => "javascript:alert(document.cookie)"
`

#### Customizing Filter Options

Override the default XSS filter options by passing a valid js-xss options object as the first parameter of the constructor. Options available here: https://github.com/leizongmin/js-xss#custom-filter-rules.

You can also extend the default options instead of overriding them by passing true as the second parameter of the constructor. When extending
the filter options whiteList, the attribute arrays will automatically
be concatenated to the defaults instead of replacing them.

`js
const customSanitizer = new Sanitizer({
whiteList: {
a: ['data-example']
},
escapeHtml: function () {
...
}
}, true / extend defaults /);
`

If you override the built-in filtering using custom filter rules, know that you are taking full control of that particular filtering method. To do this safely, you can pass anything you don't want to handle specifically on to the js-xss filtering method.

In this example, we want to strip any href for the domain www.mydomain.tld and pass along everything else to the js-xss safeAttrValue method.

`js
import xss from "xss";

const customSanitizer = new Sanitizer({
safeAttrValue: function(tag, name, value, cssFilter) {
// strip anchor href attributes that point to www.mydomain.tld on any protocol,
// and allow any other href attributes
if (tag === "a" && name === "href") {
if (value.indexOf("//www.mydomain.tld") > -1) {
return "";
} else {
return xss.escapeAttrValue(value);
}
}
// pass everything else onto the js-xss safeAttrValue method
return xss.safeAttrValue(tag, name, value, cssFilter);
}
});
`
