@ptkhanh94npm/deleniti-atque-doloribus v1.0.0

Express XSS Sanitizer

Express 4.x middleware which sanitizes user input data (in req.body, req.query, req.headers and req.params) to prevent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack.

Installation

$ npm install @ptkhanh94npm/deleniti-atque-doloribus

Usage

Add as a piece of express middleware, before defining your routes.

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const { xss } = require('@ptkhanh94npm/deleniti-atque-doloribus');

const app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit:'1kb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true, limit:'1kb'}));
app.use(xss());

You can add options to specify allowed keys or allowed attributes to be skipped at sanitization

const options = {
   allowedKeys: ['name'],
   allowedAttributes: {
         input: ['value'],
   },
}

app.use(xss(options));

You can add options to specify allowed tags to sanitize it and remove other tags

const options = {
   allowedTags: ['h1']
}

app.use(xss(options));

Add as a piece of express middleware, before single route.

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const { xss } = require('@ptkhanh94npm/deleniti-atque-doloribus');

const app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit:'1kb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true, limit:'1kb'}));
app.post("/body", xss(), function (req, res) {
      // your code
});

app.post("/test", function (req, res) {
      // your code
});

You also can sanitize your data (object, array, string,etc) on the fly.

const { sanitize } = require('@ptkhanh94npm/deleniti-atque-doloribus');

// ...
      data = sanitize(data)
// or
      data = sanitize(data, {allowedKeys: ['name']})
// ...
