Auto-Escaping is an important feature of Squirrelly. When it's enabled, every reference without the safe filter will be HTML-escaped, to provide some protection against XSS.
warning
Squirrelly has not been vetted for security, and autoEscaping is probably not completely foolproof. We use the same function as many other template engines, like Mustache and Handlebars, but there's still the possibility that there's some vulnerability.
Sqrl.autoEscaping(true) // Turns autoEscaping onSqrl.autoEscaping(false) // Turns autoEscaping off// autoEscaping is on by default
note
To avoid escaping a specific reference, you can pass it through the safe filter. Example: {{{someref | safe}}}
note
Auto-escaping can be helpful, but it also negatively impacts performance. For best results, autoEscape data before you store it or attempt to render it in a template.
