Haml config

[inferno]

Hi!

How i can set Haml options for render templates?

[adamstac]

I've wanted to do this as well. Specifically to set my views to render with HTML5 and set the default attribute wrapper. For example:

# Default is an empty hash
# http://haml-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.HAML_REFERENCE.html#options
configuration.haml_options = {
  :format => :html5,
  :attr_wrapper => '"'
}

Drop this in your config.ru:

require 'haml'
class Haml::Engine
  alias old_initialize initialize
  def initialize(lines, options)
    options.update(:format => :html5)
    old_initialize(lines, options)
  end
end

I will look at making this a little cleaner for the next version.

Thank, its really helpful.

Works for me for now. Thanks John ;)

Is the above code snippet still the work-around for making this work? I dropped it in my config.ru and it didn't change the output of my HTML. Any suggestions?

[jlong]

Hrrm. It may require an older version of Haml. Are you using the latest alpha?

[JakeCarter]

I didn't do anything special to install these. I'm running Haml 3.1.4 (Separated Sally) and Serve 1.5.1. Here's my config.ru file. Perhaps I put the snippet in the wrong place? https://gist.github.com/1994453

Ok, I found a problem with my previous config.ru script and have fixed it. Serve is now outputting my Haml as HTML5 when using the Serve server. But when I do a serve export, its still outputting XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Is there a work around for this?

That's really odd, since the export is supposed to just load those pages and dump them verbatim. Can you give me a little sample project that reproduces the issue?

[JakeCarter]

Yeah. I'll test it again tonight and post a link here later. Thanks.

[JakeCarter]

Ok, I created a test project here: https://github.com/JakeCarter/html5test

When I use serve to serve the project it will render them as HTML5, but when I use serve export it will render them as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks for looking into this for me.

I just added a nicer way of configuring templating engines:

Serve::FileTypeHandler.configure(:haml, :format => :html5)

I'd recommend putting it in view_helpers.rb rather than config.ru, as the latter is not loaded when exporting.
