haml_to_js is a ruby library and command line that converts haml to javascript.
Why an other haml to js converter (see similar utilities) ?
- It is a extension of haml_to_star which purpose is to convert haml into any language
- This converter is intended for front usage
- It simplifies debugging (the generated code is readable, a variable hold haml line number so you can know exactly where the problem is)
- It support features that other don't support (don't hesitate to raise an issue if I am no longer right):
- if...else statements
- Declarations such as
.first{class: 'second'}will generate<div class="first second"></div> - Support for brackets inside parameters (ex:
%div{key: 'value with bracket}'})
gem install haml_to_js
haml_to_js file or haml_to_js < file
Take a look at integration test cases in order to see what generated code looks like.
The generated code has dependencies; it needs two functions attrs and escape. It is recommended to include haml_to_js.js.
