django-html_sanitizer 0.1.3

django-html_sanitizer is a Django app that provides a set of utilities to easily sanitize/escape/clean HTML inputs in Django. This app is built on top of bleach, the excellent Python HTML sanitizer.

Installation

Add sanitizer to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
 # other apps
 "sanitizer",
)

Model Usage

Similar to bleach, django sanitizer is a whitelist (only allows specified tags and attributes) based HTML sanitizer. Django sanitizer provides two model fields that automatically sanitizes text values; SanitizedCharField and SanitizedTextField.

These fields accept three extra arguments: - allowed_tags: a list of allowed HTML tags - allowed_attributes: a list of allowed HTML attributes - strip: a boolean indicating whether offending tags/attributes should be escaped or stripped.

Here's how to use it in django models:

from django.db import models
from sanitizer.models import SanitizedCharField, SanitizedTextField

class MyModel(models.Model):
 # Allow only < a >, < p >, < img > tags and "href" and "src" attributes
 foo = SanitizedCharField(max_length=255, allowed_tags=['a', 'p', 'img'],
 allowed_attributes=['href', 'src'], strip=False)
 bar = SanitizedTextField(max_length=255, allowed_tags=['a', 'p', 'img'],
 allowed_attributes=['href', 'src'], strip=False)

Form Usage

Using django sanitizer in django forms is very similar to model usage:

from django import forms
from sanitizer.forms import SanitizedCharField, SanitizedTextField

class MyForm(forms.Form):
 # Allow only < a >, < p >, < img > tags and "href" and "src" attributes
 foo = SanitizedCharField(max_length=255, allowed_tags=['a', 'p', 'img'],
 allowed_attributes=['href', 'src'], strip=False)
 bar = SanitizedTextField(max_length=255, allowed_tags=['a', 'p', 'img'],
 allowed_attributes=['href', 'src'], strip=False)

Template Usage

Django sanitizer provides a few differents ways of cleaning HTML in templates:

- escape_html template tag

Example usage:

{% load sanitizer %}
{% escape_html post.content "a, p, img" "href, src" %}

Assuming post.content contains the string '< a href ="#" >Example< /a >< script >alert("x")< /script >', the above tag will output '< a href ="#" >Example< /a >'

- strip_html template tag

Example usage:

{% load sanitizer %}
{% strip_html post.content "a, p, img" "href, src" %}

Assuming post.content contains the string '< a href ="#" >Example< /a >< script >alert("x")< /script >', the above tag will output '< a href ="#" >Example< /a >alert("x")'

- escape_html filter

Escapes HTML tags from string based on settings. To use this filter you need to put these variables on settings.py:

 SANITIZER_ALLOWED_TAGS - a list of allowed tags (defaults to an empty list)
 SANITIZER_ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES - a list of allowed attributes (defaults to an empty list)

For example if we have SANITIZER_ALLOWED_TAGS = ['a'], SANITIZER_ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES = ['href'] in settings.py, doing:

{% load sanitizer %}
{{ post.content|escape_html }}

Assuming post.content contains the string '< a href ="#" >Example< /a >< script >alert("x")< /script >', the above filter will output '< a href ="#" >Example< /a >'

- strip_html filter

Strips HTML tags from text, allowing only whitelisted tags/attributes. To use this filter you need to put these variables on settings.py:

- SANITIZER_ALLOWED_TAGS - a list of allowed tags (defaults to an empty list)
- SANITIZER_ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES - a list of allowed attributes (defaults to an empty list)

For example if we have SANITIZER_ALLOWED_TAGS = ['a'], SANITIZER_ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES = ['href'] in settings.py, doing:

{% load sanitizer %}
{{ post.content|strip_html }}

Assuming post.content contains the string 'Examplealert("x")', the above filter will output 'Examplealert("x")'
