Example: How to remove ALL HTML elements and tags from an input?

[dosstx]

Ok stupid question.....but how to remove ALL html from an input and just leave the basic text?

For example:

<b>Hello World</b> should be Hello World.

I tried:

Vue.use(VueDOMPurifyHTML, {
 USE_PROFILES: {
   html: false
 }
})

But Still showed the b element in the user input.

Hello,

This is more a question for DOMPurify itself.

You can probably achieve what you want with the following DOMPurify config: { ALLOWED_TAGS: ['#text'] }.

However if that is your only need for DOMPurify you might be better of without it and save a few dependencies and KB in your app by retrieving directly your text content with something like this:

function strip(html: string): string {
   const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, 'text/html');
   return doc.body.textContent || "";
}

Does it answer your question?

Closing since this was not directly related to vue-dompurify-html.
