Javascript HAML engine

Question

I'm looking for a javascript 'port' of haml supporting the following features:

1. Templates stored in files.
2. JSON input.
3. Supports "collections" [{Booking},{Booking},{Booking}] for iterated processing.

Essentially I'd like the functionality as sinatra_more's templates.

Does anyone know of something that fits the bill?

Answer 1

This is an old post, but just in case anyone gets here from google, it's worth mentioning Jade

It's not strict haml, but a haml-inspired templating language for node and javascript

Answer 2

The most up-to-date list of Haml implementations is on the Wikipedia page. According to that, the only Javascript implementation of Haml is haml-js. I'm not sure how well this satisfies your requirements, but it's worth checking out.

Answer 3

Why not use the HAML library on the backend to precompile your javascript-containing HAML templates to EJS?

I'll keep you posted if I implement this & release a gem or something. I hope other kind developers will do the same if it proves too much for me. :)
