The below code creates a policy with the name "myEscapePolicy" with a function defined for createHTML() which sanitizes HTML.

const escapeHTMLPolicy = trustedTypes.createPolicy("myEscapePolicy", {
  createHTML: (string) => string.replace(/</g, "&lt;"),
});

On a site where Trusted Types are enforced via a Content Security Policy with the require-trusted-types-for directive set to script, any injection script that accepts a script expects a Trusted Type object. In the case that a string is inserted instead, a default policy will be used.

The default policy logs a message to the console to remind the developer to refactor this part of the application to use a Trusted Type object. It also appends details of the use of the default policy, type, and injection sink to the returned value.

trustedTypes.createPolicy("default", {
  createScriptURL: (s, type, sink) => {
    console.log("Please refactor.");
    return `${s}?default-policy-used&type=${encodeURIComponent(
      type,
    )}&sink=${encodeURIComponent(sink)}`;
  },
});
