Strip html from string Ruby on Rails

Question

I\'m working with Ruby on Rails, Is there a way to strip html from a string using sanitize or equal method and keep only text inside value attribute on input ta

Answer 1

I've used the Loofah library, as it is suitable for both HTML and XML (both documents and string fragments). It is the engine behind the html sanitizer gem. I'm simply pasting the code example to show how simple it is to use.

Loofah Gem

unsafe_html = "ohai! 
div is safe
 "

doc = Loofah.fragment(unsafe_html).scrub!(:strip)
doc.to_s    # => "ohai! 
div is safe
 "
doc.text    # => "ohai! div is safe "
