#capture_haml(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Captures the result of the given 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”.

end

#escape_once(text) ⇒ Object

Escapes HTML entities in text, but without escaping an ampersand that is already part of an escaped entity.

#find_and_preserve(input = '', tags = haml_buffer.options[:preserve], &block) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

find_and_preserve(input, tags = haml_buffer.options[:preserve])
find_and_preserve {...}

Uses preserve to convert any newlines inside whitespace-sensitive tags into the HTML entities for endlines. @tags@ is an array of tags to preserve. It defaults to the value of the :preserve option.

    "<#{$1}#{$2}>#{preserve($3)}</#{$1}>"
  end
end

#haml_concat(text = "") ⇒ Object

Outputs text directly to the Haml buffer, with the proper tabulation

# File 'lib/gems/haml-2.0.4/lib/haml/helpers.rb', line 289

def haml_concat(text = "")
  haml_buffer.buffer << ('  ' * haml_buffer.tabulation) << text.to_s << "\n"
  nil
end

#haml_tag(name, *rest, &block) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

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

Creates an HTML tag with the given name and optionally text and attributes. Can take a block that will be executed between when the opening and closing tags are output. 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.

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>

#html_attrs(lang = 'en-US') ⇒ Object

Returns a hash containing default assignments for the xmlns and xml:lang attributes of the html HTML element. It also takes an optional argument for the value of xml:lang and lang, which defaults to ‘en-US’. For example,

%html{html_attrs}

becomes

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

end

#html_escape(text) ⇒ Object

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

390
391
 
# File 'lib/gems/haml-2.0.4/lib/haml/helpers.rb', line 389

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 rendering 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)

# File 'lib/gems/haml-2.0.4/lib/haml/helpers.rb', line 404

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

#list_of(array, &block) ⇒ Object

Takes an Enumerable object and a block and iterates over the object, 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>

    result = capture_haml(i, &block)

    if result.count("\n") > 1
      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

call-seq:

non_haml { ... }

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.

  res
end

#precede(char, &block) ⇒ Object

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

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

Produces:

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

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

#preserve(input = '', &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: flatten

call-seq:

preserve(input)
preserve {...}

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

  haml_concat *args
end

#succeed(char, &block) ⇒ Object

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

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

Produces:

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

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

#surround(front, back = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Surrounds the given block of Haml code with the given characters, 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>*

See also tab_up.

def tab_down(i = 1)

end

#tab_up(i = 1) ⇒ Object

Increments the number of tabs the buffer automatically adds to the lines of the template. For example:

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

Produces:

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