4.2 Sanitation and Validation
In this lesson, we take a look and the importance of securing data before it’s written to the database. Specifically, before we begin saving our options, we need to talk about sanitation and validation so that we understand how to securely save and retrieve data from our database so that malicious users cannot inject data into our database and so our front end properly renders information.
