Module: Haml::Helpers

Extended by:
Helpers
Includes:

Included in:
Buffer, Helpers
Defined in:
lib/haml/helpers.rb,
lib/haml/helpers/action_view_extensions.rb

Overview

This module contains various helpful methods to make it easier to do various tasks. Helpers is automatically included in the context that a Haml template is parsed in, so all these methods are at your disposal from within the template.

#capture_haml(*args) {|args| ... } ⇒ Object

Captures the result of a block of Haml code, gets rid of the excess indentation, and returns it as a string. For example, after the following,

.foo
  - foo = capture_haml(13) do |a|
    %p= a

the local variable foo would be assigned to "<p>13</p>\n".

Parameters:

  • args (Array) —

    Arguments to pass into the block

Yields:

  • (args) —

    A block of Haml code that will be converted to a string

Yield Parameters:

  • args (Array) —

    args

    Escapes newlines within a block of Haml code.

    Yields:

  ErrorReturn.new("haml_concat")
end

#haml_indent ⇒ String

#haml_tag(name, *flags, attributes = {}) { ... } ⇒ Object #haml_tag(name, text, *flags, attributes = {}) ⇒ Object

Creates an HTML tag with the given name and optionally text and attributes. Can take a block that will run between the opening and closing tags. If the block is a Haml block or outputs text using #haml_concat, the text will be properly indented.

flags is a list of symbol flags like those that can be put at the end of a Haml tag (:/, :<, and :>). Currently, only :/ and :< are supported.

haml_tag outputs directly to the buffer; its return value should not be used. If you need to get the results as a string, use #capture_haml.

For example,

haml_tag :table do
  haml_tag :tr do
    haml_tag :td, {:class => 'cell'} do
      haml_tag :strong, "strong!"
      haml_concat "data"
    end
    haml_tag :td do
      haml_concat "more_data"
    end
  end
end

outputs

<table>
  <tr>
    <td class='cell'>
      <strong>
        strong!
      </strong>
      data
    </td>
    <td>
      more_data
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Overloads:

  • #haml_tag(name, *flags, attributes = {}) { ... } ⇒ Object

    Yields:

    • The block of Haml code within the tag

  • #haml_tag(name, text, *flags, attributes = {}) ⇒ Object

    Parameters:

    • text (#to_s) —

      The text within the tag

Parameters:

  • name (#to_s) —

    The name of the tag

  • flags (Array<Symbol>) —

    Haml end-of-tag flags

#html_attrs(lang = 'en-US') ⇒ Hash<#to_s, String>

Returns a hash containing default assignments for the xmlns, lang, and xml:lang attributes of the html HTML element. For example,

%html{html_attrs}

becomes

<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en-US' lang='en-US'>

Parameters:

  • lang (String) (defaults to: 'en-US') —

    The value of xml:lang and lang

Returns:

  • (Hash<#to_s, String>) —

    The attribute hash

def html_attrs(lang = 'en-US')

end

#html_escape(text) ⇒ String

Returns a copy of text with ampersands, angle brackets and quotes escaped into HTML entities.

Parameters:

  • text (String) —

    The string to sanitize

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The sanitized string



475

# File 'lib/haml/helpers.rb', line 475

def html_escape(text)
  text.to_s.gsub(/[\"><&]/) { |s| HTML_ESCAPE[s] }
end

#init_haml_helpers ⇒ Object

Note: this does not need to be called when using Haml helpers normally in Rails.

Initializes the current object as though it were in the same context as a normal ActionView instance using Haml. This is useful if you want to use the helpers in a context other than the normal setup with ActionView. For example:

context = Object.new
class << context
  include Haml::Helpers
end
context.init_haml_helpers
context.haml_tag :p, "Stuff"

def init_haml_helpers
  @haml_buffer = Haml::Buffer.new(@haml_buffer, Haml::Engine.new('').send(:options_for_buffer))
  nil
end

#is_haml? ⇒ Boolean

Returns whether or not the current template is a Haml template.

This function, unlike other Haml::Helpers functions, also works in other ActionView templates, where it will always return false.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    Whether or not the current template is a Haml template

# File 'lib/haml/helpers.rb', line 495

def is_haml?
  !@haml_buffer.nil? && @haml_buffer.active?
end

#list_of(enum) {|item| ... } ⇒ Object

Takes an Enumerable object and a block and iterates over the enum, yielding each element to a Haml block and putting the result into <li> elements. This creates a list of the results of the block. For example:

= list_of([['hello'], ['yall']]) do |i|
  = i[0]

Produces:

<li>hello</li>
<li>yall</li>

And

= list_of({:title => 'All the stuff', :description => 'A book about all the stuff.'}) do |key, val|
  %h3= key.humanize
  %p= val

Produces:

<li>
  <h3>Title</h3>
  <p>All the stuff</p>
</li>
<li>
  <h3>Description</h3>
  <p>A book about all the stuff.</p>
</li>

Parameters:

  • enum (Enumerable) —

    The list of objects to iterate over

Yields:

  • (item) —

    A block which contains Haml code that goes within list items

Yield Parameters:

  • item —

    An element of enum

      result.gsub!("\n", "\n  ")
      result = "\n  #{result.strip}\n"
    else
      result.strip!
    end

    "<li>#{result}</li>"
  end
  to_return.join("\n")
end

#non_haml { ... } ⇒ Object

Runs a block of code in a non-Haml context (i.e. #is_haml? will return false).

This is mainly useful for rendering sub-templates such as partials in a non-Haml language, particularly where helpers may behave differently when run from Haml.

Note that this is automatically applied to Rails partials.

Yields:

  • A block which won't register as Haml

ensure
  @haml_buffer.active = was_active
end

#precede(str) { ... } ⇒ Object

Prepends a string to the beginning of a Haml block, with no whitespace between. For example:

= precede '*' do
  %span.small Not really

Produces:

*<span class='small'>Not really</span>

Parameters:

  • str (String) —

    The string to add before the Haml

Yields:

  • A block of Haml to prepend to

# File 'lib/haml/helpers.rb', line 282

def precede(str, &block)
  "#{str}#{capture_haml(&block).chomp}\n"
end

#perserve(input) ⇒ Object #perserve { ... } ⇒ Object Also known as: flatten

Takes any string, finds all the newlines, and converts them to HTML entities so they'll render correctly in whitespace-sensitive tags without screwing up the indentation.

Overloads:

  • #perserve(input) ⇒ Object

    Escapes newlines within a string.

    Parameters:

    • input (String) —

      The string within which to escape all newlines

  • #perserve { ... } ⇒ Object

    Escapes newlines within a block of Haml code.

    Yields:

    • The block within which to escape newlines

  haml_concat(*args)
end

#succeed(str) { ... } ⇒ Object

Appends a string to the end of a Haml block, with no whitespace between. For example:

click
= succeed '.' do
  %a{:href=>"thing"} here

Produces:

click
<a href='thing'>here</a>.

Parameters:

  • str (String) —

    The string to add after the Haml

Yields:

  • A block of Haml to append to

def succeed(str, &block)
  "#{capture_haml(&block).chomp}#{str}\n"
end

#surround(front, back = front) { ... } ⇒ Object

Surrounds a block of Haml code with strings, with no whitespace in between. For example:

= surround '(', ')' do
  %a{:href => "food"} chicken

Produces:

(<a href='food'>chicken</a>)

and

= surround '*' do
  %strong angry

Produces:

*<strong>angry</strong>*

Parameters:

  • front (String) —

    The string to add before the Haml

%h1 foo
- tab_up
%p bar
- tab_down
%strong baz

Produces:

<h1>foo</h1>
  <p>bar</p>
<strong>baz</strong>
