Angular 2, DomSanitizer, bypassSecurityTrustHtml, SVG

Question

I've been using DomSanitizer with an SVG in an html string.

Previous to the current version of Angular, this worked just fine:

this.domSanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(content);

Now I am getting an object back called

SafeHtmlImpl {changingThisBreaksApplicationSecurity: "<svg> blah </svg>"}
changingThisBreaksApplicationSecurity

Is there now a new way to access the output of the DomSanitizer? Should I be receiving it as SafeHTML type or something? What's the point in having bypassSecurityTrustHtml if it still filters html?

Any answers on a postcard? Please...

import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser'

@Pipe({ name: 'safeHtml'})
export class SafeHtmlPipe implements PipeTransform  {
  constructor(private sanitized: DomSanitizer) {}
  transform(value) {
    console.log(this.sanitized.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(value))
    return this.sanitized.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(value);
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <div [innerHtml]="html | safeHtml">
    </div>
  `,
})
export class App {
  name:string;
  html: safeHtml;
  constructor() {
    this.name = 'Angular2'
    this.html = "<svg> blah </svg>";
  }
}

Answer 2

Use DomSanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml:

constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {
}

let html = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml("<svg> blah </svg>");
