Adding HTML Content within an Input Text Area

All asset types are defined using RXT files in WSO2 Governance Registry. By default, WSO2 G-Reg does not support HTML content within text input fields of an RXT file. However, you can extend WSO2 G-Reg to add HTML content within a text input field using the WSO2 G-Reg extension model. For an example, follow the steps below to add HTML content to the Description field, which you view in the screen when adding a REST service.

1. Create a file with the name default_table.hbs by adding the following content in it.

   <h2 class="field-title">
       <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse{{label}}" aria-expanded="false" class="collapsing-h2" >
           <i class="cu-btn-exp-col btn-collapsed">{{label}}</i>
       </a>
   </h2>
   <div class="collapse in" id="collapse{{label}}">}
       {{#eachField this.fields}}
               <div class="row padding-bottom-lg">
                   	<div class="col-sm-2 text-right">{{label}}</div>
   		{{#if_equal this.name.name "description"}}
   			<div class="col-sm-10">{{{value}}}</div>
   		{{else}}
   		<div class="col-sm-10">{{value}}</div>
   		{{/if_equal}}
               </div>
       {{/eachField}}
   </div>
   </div>

   The above code uses triple mustaches to unescape HTML in the value of the text field.

2. Add the default_table.hbs file to the <G-REG_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets/restservice/themes/default/partials/ directory. 

3. Add the following code block to the <G-REG_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/extensions/assets/restservice/asset.js file, to eliminate any <script> tags in HTML content in the G-Reg Store for security concerns.

   asset.renderer = function(ctx) {
       var decoratorApi = require('/modules/page-decorators.js').pageDecorators;
   
       return {
           pageDecorators: {
   	    sanitizedDescription: function(page) {
   		
   		if (page.assets && page.assets.attributes && page.assets.attributes.overview_description ){
            		var descriptionInfo=page.assets.attributes.overview_description;
   			var SCRIPT_REGEX = /<script\b[^<]*(?:(?!<\/script>)<[^<]*)*<\/script>/gi;
   				while (SCRIPT_REGEX.test(descriptionInfo)) {
       				descriptionInfo = descriptionInfo.replace(SCRIPT_REGEX, "");
   			
   				}
   		}
   
               }
           }
       };
   };

4. Add the following code block to the <G-REG_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets/restservice/asset.js file, to eliminate any <script> tags in HTML content in the G-Reg Publisher for security concerns.

   asset.renderer = function(ctx) {
       var decoratorApi = require('/modules/page-decorators.js').pageDecorators;
   
       return {
           pageDecorators: {
   	    sanitizedDescription: function(page) {
   
   		if(page.assets.tables && page.assets.tables[0] && page.assets.tables[0].fields && page.assets.tables[0].fields.description && page.assets.tables[0].fields.description.value){
   			var descriptionInfo=page.assets.tables[0].fields.description.value;
   			var SCRIPT_REGEX = /<script\b[^<]*(?:(?!<\/script>)<[^<]*)*<\/script>/gi;
   				while (SCRIPT_REGEX.test(descriptionInfo)) {
       				descriptionInfo = descriptionInfo.replace(SCRIPT_REGEX, "");
   		
   		
   				}
   		
   		}
               }
           }
       };
   };

5. Re-start the WSO2 G-Reg server.

6. Log in to the G-Reg Publisher using the following URL and admin/admin credentials: https://<G-REG_HOST>:<G-REG_PORT>/publisher

7. Create a new REST service using the G-Reg Publisher by adding the following HTML content for the text field of Description as shown below.
   

   <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">HTML ImprovedCode</span></strong></p>
   <p>Improved HTML look with more features like:</p>
   <ol>
   <li><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">Code highlighting</span></li>
   <li>Auto-indenting</li>
   <li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Color Change</span></li>
   <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Underline</span></li>
   <li>Line Number</li>
   </ol>
   <p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
