$sceDelegate
is a service that is used by the $sce
service to provide Strict
Contextual Escaping (SCE) services to AngularJS.
For an overview of this service and the functionnality it provides in AngularJS, see the main page for SCE. The current page is targeted for developers who need to alter how SCE works in their application, which shouldn't be needed in most cases.
Typically, you would configure or override the $sceDelegate instead of
the $sce
service to customize the way Strict Contextual Escaping works in AngularJS. This is
because, while the $sce
provides numerous shorthand methods, etc., you really only need to
override 3 core functions (trustAs
, getTrusted
and valueOf
) to replace the way things
work because $sce
delegates to $sceDelegate
for these operations.
Refer $sceDelegateProvider to configure this service.
The default instance of $sceDelegate
should work out of the box with little pain. While you
can override it completely to change the behavior of $sce
, the common case would
involve configuring the $sceDelegateProvider instead by setting
your own whitelists and blacklists for trusting URLs used for loading AngularJS resources such as
templates. Refer $sceDelegateProvider.resourceUrlWhitelist and $sceDelegateProvider.resourceUrlBlacklist
$sceDelegate();
trustAs(type, value);
Returns a trusted representation of the parameter for the specified context. This trusted
object will later on be used as-is, without any security check, by bindings or directives
that require this security context.
For instance, marking a string as trusted for the $sce.HTML
context will entirely bypass
the potential $sanitize
call in corresponding $sce.HTML
bindings or directives, such as
ng-bind-html
. Note that in most cases you won't need to call this function: if you have the
sanitizer loaded, passing the value itself will render all the HTML that does not pose a
security risk.
See getTrusted for the function that will consume those trusted values, and $sce for general documentation about strict contextual escaping.

valueOf(value);
If the passed parameter had been returned by a prior call to $sceDelegate.trustAs
, returns the value that had been passed to $sceDelegate.trustAs
.
If the passed parameter is not a value that had been returned by $sceDelegate.trustAs
, it must be returned as-is.

getTrusted(type, maybeTrusted);
Takes any input, and either returns a value that's safe to use in the specified context, or throws an exception.
In practice, there are several cases. When given a string, this function runs checks
and sanitization to make it safe without prior assumptions. When given the result of a $sceDelegate.trustAs
call, it returns the originally supplied
value if that value's context is valid for this call's context. Finally, this function can
also throw when there is no way to turn maybeTrusted
in a safe value (e.g., no sanitization
is available or possible.)
