Content Security Policy Cheat Sheet — Refactoring inline code
When default-src or script-src directives are active, CSP by default disables any JavaScript code placed inline in the HTML source, such as this Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```javascript <script> var foo = "314" <script> ``` The inline code can be moved to a s

When default-src or script-src directives are active, CSP by default disables any JavaScript code placed inline in the HTML source, such as this

</script>
```
With app.js containing the var foo = "314" code.
The inline code restriction also applies to inline event handlers, so that the following construct will be blocked under CSP
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```html
<button id="button1" onclick="doSomething()">
```

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```javascript
document.getElementById("button1").addEventListener('click', doSomething);
