grunt-haml

Compile Haml files to JavaScript.

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a gruntfile as well as install and use grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-haml --save-dev

Haml task

Run this task with the grunt haml command.

This task is a [multi task][] so any targets, files and options should be specified according to the [multi task][] documentation. [multi task]: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/wiki/Configuring-tasks

Options

language

Type: string Default: js

Specifies the script language and compiler to use alongside HAML.

Accepts following values: coffee or js in which it will use haml-coffee or haml-js respectively.

target

Type: string Default: html

Specifies the target language to compile to.

Accepts the following values: js or html. For js the template is generated and for html the template is both generated and rendered into its resultant HTML.

placement

Type: string Default: global

Specifies where to place the resultant template.

Accepts the following values: amd or global, For global the template is precompiled and stored in a global namespaced variable. For amd the template is wrapped in an amd define statement and declared as an anonumous module.

Defined only for target == 'js'.

namespace

Type: string Default: window.HAML

Specifies the global object to store the compiled HAML templates in.

Defined only for target == 'js' and placement == 'global'.

name

Type: string Default: basename without extension of the input HAML file

Specifies the name to store the compiled HAML template as in the object specified by namespace.

With a name of 'apple' and a namespace of this._template, you'd get something like this:

this._template['apple'] = function(locals) {
    // template code
};

Defined only for target == 'js' and placement == 'global'.

dependencies

Type: object Default: {}

Specifies any module dependencies of the HAML file that must be loaded via the AMD define statement. These are automatically appended to if there are any require statements in the HAML code.

With the following HAML file:

!= require('path/to/other')()
%p Hello World

And the following options (in the Gruntfile.js):

haml: {
  compile: {
    files: // ...
    options: {
      dependencies: {
        $: 'jquery',
        _: 'underscore'
      }
    }
  }
}

The resultant template would be something like this:

define(['jquery', 'underscore', 'path/to/other'], function($, _, other) {
    // template code
});

Defined only for target == 'js'.

bare

Type: boolean Default: true

Compile the JavaScript without the top-level function safety wrapper.

Defined only for language == 'coffee' and target == 'js'.

Usage examples

haml: {
  one: {
    files: {
      // 1:1 compile
      'path/to/result.js': 'path/to/source.haml',

      // compile and concat into single file
      'path/to/another.js': ['path/to/sources/*.haml', 'path/to/more/*.haml']
    }
  },

  // compile individually into dest, maintaining folder structure
  two: {
    files: grunt.file.expandMapping(['path/to/*.haml'], 'path/to/dest/', {
      rename: function(base, path) {
        return base + path.replace(/\.haml$/, '.js');
      }
    })
  }
}
