Can I require Ruby libraries in HAML

Question

Can I do this HAML?

-require 'digest/md5'
.user-info
  =@user.name
  %img{ :src => "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/#{Digest::MD5.hexdigest(@user.email)}" }

Answer 1

You can extract this functionality on a helper file

require 'digest/md5'
class GravatarHelper
  def gravatar_image(email)
    image_tag("http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/#{Digest::MD5.hexdigest(email)}" )
  end

end

Then view becomes much clear
