Using ng-href as a filter function

Question

Is there anyway to pass a string through ng-href and achieve the same result as if it was the value of that directive?

e.g. {{ url | ng-href }}

So that way the filter or pipe sanitizes any values and conforms the proper url scheme.

Answer 1

Not quite clear what you're trying to achieve. But if you wanted to be able to convert a string in the model into the href attribute on a <a> tag - you may use smth like this $sce.trustAsUrl (angular site docs)

SCE assists in writing code in a way that (a) is secure by default and (b) makes auditing for security vulnerabilities such as XSS, clickjacking, etc. a lot easier.
