Insert HTML into view from AngularJS controller

Solution 1:

For Angular 1.x, use ng-bind-html in the HTML:

<div ng-bind-html="thisCanBeusedInsideNgBindHtml"></div>

At this point you would get a attempting to use an unsafe value in a safe context error so you need to either use ngSanitize or $sce to resolve that.

$sce

Use $sce.trustAsHtml() in the controller to convert the html string.

 $scope.thisCanBeusedInsideNgBindHtml = $sce.trustAsHtml(someHtmlVar);

ngSanitize

There are 2 steps:

  1. include the angular-sanitize.min.js resource, i.e.:

    <script src="lib/angular/angular-sanitize.min.js"></script>
    
  2. In a js file (controller or usually app.js), include ngSanitize, i.e.:

    angular.module('myApp', ['myApp.filters', 'myApp.services', 
        'myApp.directives', 'ngSanitize'])
    

Solution 2:

You can also create a filter like so:

var app = angular.module("demoApp", ['ngResource']);

app.filter("trust", ['$sce', function($sce) {
  return function(htmlCode){
    return $sce.trustAsHtml(htmlCode);
  }
}]);

Then in the view

<div ng-bind-html="trusted_html_variable | trust"></div>

Note: This filter trusts any and all html passed to it, and could present an XSS vulnerability if variables with user input are passed to it.

Solution 3:

Angular JS shows HTML within the tag

The solution provided in the above link worked for me, none of the options on this thread did. For anyone looking for the same thing with AngularJS version 1.2.9

Here's a copy:

Ok I found solution for this:

JS:

$scope.renderHtml = function(html_code)
{
    return $sce.trustAsHtml(html_code);
};

HTML:

<p ng-bind-html="renderHtml(value.button)"></p>

EDIT:

Here's the set up:

JS file:

angular.module('MyModule').controller('MyController', ['$scope', '$http', '$sce',
    function ($scope, $http, $sce) {
        $scope.renderHtml = function (htmlCode) {
            return $sce.trustAsHtml(htmlCode);
        };

        $scope.body = '<div style="width:200px; height:200px; border:1px solid blue;"></div>'; 

    }]);

HTML file:

<div ng-controller="MyController">
    <div ng-bind-html="renderHtml(body)"></div>
</div>
