I’m trying to set the src
attribute of an iframe from a variable and I can’t get it to work…
The markup:
<div class="col-xs-12" ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<ul class="">
<li ng-repeat="project in projects">
<a ng-click="setProject(project.id)" href="">{{project.url}}</a>
</li>
</ul>
<iframe ng-src="{{trustSrc(currentProject.url)}}">
Something wrong...
</iframe>
</div>
controllers/app.js:
function AppCtrl ($scope) {
$scope.projects = {
1 : {
"id" : 1,
"name" : "Mela Sarkar",
"url" : "http://blabla.com",
"description" : "A professional portfolio site for McGill University professor Mela Sarkar."
},
2 : {
"id" : 2,
"name" : "Good Watching",
"url" : "http://goodwatching.com",
"description" : "Weekend experiment to help my mom decide what to watch."
}
};
$scope.setProject = function (id) {
$scope.currentProject = $scope.projects[id];
console.log( $scope.currentProject );
}
}
With this code, nothing gets inserted into the iframe’s src
attribute. It’s just blank.
Update 1:
I injected the $sce
dependancy into the AppCtrl and $sce.trustUrl() now works without throwing errors. However it returns TrustedValueHolderType
which I’m not sure how to use to insert an actual URL. The same type is returned whether I use $sce.trustUrl() inside the interpolation braces in the attribute src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20045150/{{trustUrl(currentProjectUrl))}}"
or if I do it inside the controller when setting the value of currentProjectUrl. I even tried it with both.
Update 2:
I figured out how to return the url from the trustedUrlHolder using .toString() but when I do that, it throws the security warning when I try to pass it into the src attribute.
Update 3:
It works if I use trustAsResourceUrl() in the controller and pass that to a variable used inside the ng-src attribute:
$scope.setProject = function (id) {
$scope.currentProject = $scope.projects[id];
$scope.currentProjectUrl = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl($scope.currentProject.url);
console.log( $scope.currentProject );
console.log( $scope.currentProjectUrl );
}
My problem seems to be solved by this, although I’m not quite sure why.
