angular - How to set <iframe src="..."> without causing `unsafe value` exception?

Question

I am working on a tutorial involving the setting of an iframe src attribute:

<iframe width="100%" height="300" src="{{video.url}}"></iframe>

This throws an exception:

Error: unsafe value used in a resource URL context
at DomSanitizationServiceImpl.sanitize...

I have already tried using bindings with [src] with no success.

Update v8

Below answers work but exposes your application to XSS security risks!. Instead of using this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(url), it is recommended to use this.sanitizer.sanitize(SecurityContext.URL, url)

Update

For RC.6^ version use DomSanitizer

Plunker

And a good option is using pure pipe for that:

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer} from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Pipe({ name: 'safe' })
export class SafePipe implements PipeTransform {
  constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}
  transform(url) {
    return this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(url);
  }
} 

remember to add your new SafePipe to the declarations array of the AppModule. (as seen on documentation)

@NgModule({
   declarations : [
     ...
     SafePipe
   ],
})

html

<iframe width="100%" height="300" [src]="url | safe"></iframe>

Old version RC.5

You can leverage DomSanitizationService like this:

export class YourComponent {
  url: SafeResourceUrl;
  constructor(sanitizer: DomSanitizationService) {
    this.url = sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl('your url');
  }
}

And then bind to url in your template:

<iframe width="100%" height="300" [src]="url"></iframe>

Don't forget to add the following imports:

import { SafeResourceUrl, DomSanitizationService } from '@angular/platform-browser';
