Haml+ejs

Haml+ejs is a templating engine for client-side HTML templates. It's are designed to make it both easier and more pleasant to write HTML documents, by eliminating redundancy, reflecting the underlying structure that the document represents, and providing elegant, easily understandable, and powerful syntax.

Installing

Add the following to your project's Gemfile

gem 'haml_ejs'

Formatting

haml+ejs supports all of haml, plus some special EJS-producing directives. You can compile Haml+ejs templates to HTML mingled with EJS. For example:

%p
  ^= my_var
  ^if sunny
    Nice, eh?

compiles to:

<p>
  <%= my_var %>
  <% if (my_var) { %>
    Nice eh?
  <% } %>
</p>

The available EJS directives are:

^=	Interpolate a JavaScript variable
^if	Output nested content if JavaScript expression is truthy
^unless	Output nested content if JavaScript expression is falsy
^elsif	Output nested content if preceding JavaScript expression is falsy, and the provided expression is truthy
^else	Output nested content if precending JavaScript expression is falsy
^each	Iterate over the JavaScript collection, outputing the nested content once for each item in the collection

See the official Haml documentation for how to use Haml itself.
