Inspired by haml-sprockets. Use clientside-haml-js to render your haml templates with javascript/coffeescript and haml.
The gem includes clientside-haml-js, JSON-js for IE, underscore and underscore.string. You would not have to download it separately. To use this gem, you need to do the following:
In the Gemfile, add the following line.
gem "cshaml-sprockets"
In app/assets/javascripts/application.js add the following line before //= require_tree .
//=require json2
//=require underscore
//=require underscore.string
//=require haml
Now, you can create cshamljs files under app/assets/javascripts/templates folder. You can create the templates folder, if it does not already exist.
// code for app/assets/javascripts/templates/hello.jst.cshamljs
%h1 Hello HAML
Or to use CoffeeScript in haml templates name the file
// code for app/assets/javascripts/templates/hello.jst.cshamlcoffee
%h1= @model.title
You can now access the template anywhere in your javascript or coffeescript code.
JST["templates/hello"](model: model)
This should give you back the string "<h1>model title</h1>".
Refer to clientside-haml-js for more details.
