strip_links method not functioning in controllers, models, or libs
It comes up with an error about white_list_sanitizer undefined in the class you're using it in. To get around this, use:
ActionController::Base.helpers.strip_links('string')
To shorten this, add something like this in an initializer:
class String
def strip_links
ActionController::Base.helpers.strip_links(self)
end
end
then call it with:
'string'.strip_links
