Django HTML Sanitizer
=====================

Django HTML Sanitizer provides a set of utilities to easily sanitize/escape/clean
HTML inputs in django. This app is built on top of `bleach <http://github.com/jsocol/bleach>`_,
the excellent Python HTML sanitizer.


Dependencies
============

- `django <http://djangoproject.com/>`_: http://djangoproject.com/
- `bleach <http://github.com/jsocol/bleach>`_: http://github.com/jsocol/bleach


Installation
============

You'll first need to install the package (or download manually from
`pypi <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-html_sanitizer>`_)::
    
    pip install django-html_sanitizer

And then add ``sanitizer`` to your INSTALLED_APPS in django's ``settings.py``::
    
    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 extra arguments:

* allowed_tags: a list of allowed HTML tags
* allowed_attributes: a list of allowed HTML attributes, or a dictionary of
  tag keys with atttribute list for each key
* allowed_styles: a list of allowed styles if "style" is one of the allowed 
  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)
        foo2 = SanitizedCharField(max_length=255, allowed_tags=['a', 'p', 'img'], 
                                 allowed_attributes={'img':['src', 'style']}, 
                                 allowed_styles=['width', 'height'], strip=False)


Form Usage
==========

Using django HTML sanitizer in django forms is very similar to model usage::
    
    from django import forms
    from sanitizer.forms import SanitizedCharField

    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 = SanitizedCharField(max_length=255, allowed_tags=['a', 'p', 'img'], 
                                 allowed_attributes=['href', 'src'], strip=False, widget=forms.Textarea)
        foo2 = SanitizedCharField(max_length=255, allowed_tags=['a', 'p', 'img'], 
                                 allowed_attributes={'img':['src', 'style']}, 
                                 allowed_styles=['width', 'height'], 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, style" "width"%}

Assuming ``post.content`` contains the string
'<a href ="#" style="width:200px; height="400px">Example</a><script>alert("x")</script>', the above tag will
output::

    '<a href ="#" style="width:200px;">Example</a>&lt;script&gt;alert("x")&lt;/script&gt;'

On django 1.4 you could also use keyword arguments::

    {% escape_html '<a href="">bar</a>' allowed_tags="a,img" allowed_attributes="href,src" allowed_styles="width" %}


``strip_html`` Template Tag
---------------------------

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

If ``post.content`` contains the string
'<a href ="#">Example</a><script>alert("x")</script>', this will give you::

    '<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)
* ``SANITIZER_ALLOWED_STYLES`` - a list of allowed styles if the style attribute is set (defaults to an empty list)

For example if we have ``SANITIZER_ALLOWED_TAGS = ['a']``, 
``SANITIZER_ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES = ['href']``, 
``SANITIZER_ALLOWED_STYLES = ['width']`` in settings.py, doing::
    
    {% load sanitizer %}
    {{ post.content|escape_html }}

If ``post.content`` contains the string
'<a href ="#" style="width:200px; height:400px">Example</a><script>alert("x")</script>', it will give you::

    '<a href ="#" style="width=200px;">Example</a>&lt;script&gt;alert("x")&lt;/script&gt;'


``strip_html`` Filter
---------------------

Similar to ``escape_html`` filter, except it strips out offending HTML tags.

For example if we have ``SANITIZER_ALLOWED_TAGS = ['a']``, 
``SANITIZER_ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES = ['href']`` in settings.py, doing::
    
    {% load sanitizer %}
    {{ post.content|strip_html }}

If ``post.content`` contains the string
'<a href ="#">Example</a><script>alert("x")</script>', we will get::

    '<a href ="#">Example</a>alert("x")'
