Haml Coffee Assets & Require JS Demo App

This is a simple example Rails application that shows how to set up Haml Coffee Assets with RequireJS.

Setup

1. Install gems

Add the following gems to your Gemfile:

gem 'haml_coffee_assets'
gem 'requirejs-rails'

and install them with bundle.

2. Configure sprockets and Haml Coffee Assets

Remove all sprockets directives from application.js and do not require any Haml Coffee template.

Configure Haml Coffee Assets to serve AMD modules instead of JST templates:

if defined? ::HamlCoffeeAssets
  config.hamlcoffee.placement = 'amd'
end

3. Write your templates

For this showcase only one simple template app/assets/javascripts/templates/test.hamlc exists:

%h1 Test template rendering
%ul
  - for number in @numbers
    %li= number

4. Load template and render

Load the template in your app and render it:

require(['jquery', 'templates/test'], function ($, test) {
  $(function() {
      $('body').append(test({ numbers: ['1', '2', '3'] }));
  });
});

Partials

Haml Coffee AMD support detects partials in your templates and adds them automatically to the module dependencies, allowing you to render another template like:

%h1 Partials!!!
%p!= require('partial')()
