Sanitize input XSS and HTML input in rails
input, ruby-on-rails, sanitize, xss
Solution
What about the xss_terminate plugin ?
Problem
I know I can use the ActionView helper `strip_tags` method in my views to sanitize output, but what is the best way to sanitize user input before I persist it to my db? Should I find a way to include the view helper in my controller and reuse the strip_tags method? I thought rails would have something available globally to do something like this.
