``escape``
==========
The ``escape`` filter escapes a string using strategies that depend on the
context.
By default, it uses the HTML escaping strategy:
.. code-block:: html+twig
<p>
{{ user.username|escape }}
</p>
For convenience, the ``e`` filter is defined as an alias:
.. code-block:: html+twig
<p>
{{ user.username|e }}
</p>
The ``escape`` filter can also be used in other contexts than HTML thanks to
an optional argument which defines the escaping strategy to use:
.. code-block:: twig
{{ user.username|e }}
{# is equivalent to #}
{{ user.username|e('html') }}
And here is how to escape variables included in JavaScript code:
.. code-block:: twig
{{ user.username|escape('js') }}
{{ user.username|e('js') }}
The ``escape`` filter supports the following escaping strategies for HTML
documents:
* ``html``: escapes a string for the **HTML body** context.
* ``js``: escapes a string for the **JavaScript** context.
* ``css``: escapes a string for the **CSS** context. CSS escaping can be
applied to any string being inserted into CSS and escapes everything except
alphanumerics.
* ``url``: escapes a string for the **URI or parameter** contexts. This should
not be used to escape an entire URI; only a subcomponent being inserted.
* ``html_attr``: escapes a string for the **HTML attribute** context.
Note that doing contextual escaping in HTML documents is hard and choosing the
right escaping strategy depends on a lot of factors. Please, read related
documentation like `the OWASP prevention cheat sheet
<https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries/blob/master/cheatsheets/Cross_Site_Scripting_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.md>`_
to learn more about this topic.
.. note::
Internally, ``escape`` uses the PHP native `htmlspecialchars`_ function
for the HTML escaping strategy.
.. caution::
When using automatic escaping, Twig tries to not double-escape a variable
when the automatic escaping strategy is the same as the one applied by the
escape filter; but that does not work when using a variable as the
escaping strategy:
.. code-block:: twig
{% set strategy = 'html' %}
{% autoescape 'html' %}
{{ var|escape('html') }} {# won't be double-escaped #}
{{ var|escape(strategy) }} {# will be double-escaped #}
{% endautoescape %}
When using a variable as the escaping strategy, you should disable
automatic escaping:
.. code-block:: twig
{% set strategy = 'html' %}
{% autoescape 'html' %}
{{ var|escape(strategy)|raw }} {# won't be double-escaped #}
{% endautoescape %}
Custom Escapers
---------------
You can define custom escapers by calling the ``setEscaper()`` method on the
escaper extension instance. The first argument is the escaper name (to be
used in the ``escape`` call) and the second one must be a valid PHP callable::
$twig = new \Twig\Environment($loader);
$twig->getExtension(\Twig\Extension\EscaperExtension::class)->setEscaper('csv', 'csv_escaper');
When called by Twig, the callable receives the Twig environment instance, the
string to escape, and the charset.
.. note::
Built-in escapers cannot be overridden mainly because they should be
considered as the final implementation and also for better performance.
Arguments
---------
* ``strategy``: The escaping strategy
* ``charset``: The string charset
.. _`htmlspecialchars`: https://www.php.net/htmlspecialchars
