elixir - How to render raw HTML code in Phoenix Framework?

Question

I'm storing raw html from a contenteditable tag in my RethinkDB database. Now I want to display the content after retrieving it.

html.eex

<div id="contentEditableText">
    <%= for %{"contentText" => contentText} <- @contentText.data do %>
      <div><%= "#{contentText}" %></div>
    <% end %>
</div>

I can sucessfully retrieve it, but it's displaying the raw html itself.

The phoenix_html library provides a raw/1 function for this case. phoenix_html is included by default so you should just need to do:

<div id="contentEditableText">
    <%= for %{"contentText" => contentText} <- @contentText.data do %>
      <div><%= raw(contentText) %></div>
    <% end %>
</div>
