Is there something like sanitize for controllers?

Question

Is there something like sanitize for controllers?

Answer 1

How do i do this:

# in application_controller.rb
def helpers
  Helper.instance
end

class Helper
  include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
  include ActionView::Helpers::SanitizeHelper
end

# in your controller
def index 
  @message = "Sanitized #{helpers.sanitize(...)}"
end

These names put your helpers on the controller, for example, by extending the inner class. Hope this helps!

I think the Helper class should be:

class Helper
  include Singleton
  include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
end
