Difference between ng-bind, ng-bind-html, ng-bind-html-unsafe in AngularJS?

I want to know difference between ng-bind, ng-bind-html and ng-bind-html-unsafe.

Also when I run below code, I am getting error which is as mentioned below :

Code :

 <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
        pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>HTML Injection Security in AngularJS</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/angular.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

angular.module("myApp", []).controller("myController",function($scope)
{
    $scope.getValue = function()
    {
        return "<b>Hello World</b>";
    };
});

</script>

</head>
<body>

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myController">
    <span ng-bind-html="getValue();"></span>
    <span>Normal Text</span>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Error :

What does it mean? I know using declarative code within imperative code is not good practice, though I was just trying with <b>Hello World</b> in ng-bind-html directive.

Solution

  • After searching I got below information from https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/migration#ngbindhtmlunsafe-has-been-removed-and-replaced-by-ngbindhtml: In Angular version 1.3 they have migrated from ng-bind-html-unsafe to ng-bind-html, though one point of question is remaining,Why I am getting error which is mentioned in post ?
