The createPolicy() method of the TrustedTypePolicyFactory interface creates a TrustedTypePolicy object that implements the rules passed as policyOptions.

In Chrome a policy with a name of "default" creates a special policy that will be used if a string (rather than a Trusted Type object) is passed to an injection sink. This can be used in a transitional phase while moving from an application that inserted strings into injection sinks.

policyName

A string with the name of the policy.

policyOptions Optional

User-defined functions for converting strings into trusted values.

createHTML(input[,args])

A callback function in the form of a string that contains code to run when creating a TrustedHTML object.

createScript(input[,args])

A callback function in the form of a string that contains code to run when creating a TrustedScript object.

createScriptURL(input[,args])

A callback function in the form of a string that contains code to run when creating a TrustedScriptURL object.

A TrustedTypePolicy object.

TypeError

Thrown if policy names are restricted by the Content Security Policy trusted-types directive and this name is not on the allowlist.

TypeError

Thrown if the name is a duplicate and the Content Security Policy trusted-types directive is not using allow-duplicates.

The below code creates a policy with the name "myEscapePolicy" with a function defined for createHTML() which sanitizes HTML.

const escapeHTMLPolicy = trustedTypes.createPolicy("myEscapePolicy", {
  createHTML: (string) => string.replace(/>/g, "<"),
});

On a site where Trusted Types are enforced via a Content Security Policy with the require-trusted-types-for directive set to script, any injection script that accepts a script expects a Trusted Type object. In the case that a string is inserted instead, the following default policy will be used.

The policy logs a message to the console to remind the developer to refactor this part of the application to use a Trusted Type object. It also appends details of the use of the default policy, type, and injection sink to the returned value.

trustedTypes.createPolicy("default", {
  createScriptURL: (s, type, sink) => {
    console.log("Please refactor.");
    return `${s}?default-policy-used&type=${encodeURIComponent(
      type,
    )}&sink=${encodeURIComponent(sink)}`;
  },
});
