HAML has been working wonderfully for ALL of our Rails templates, but
I'm hitting a problem I could use some help with.
I'm trying to create some dynamic forms and would love to use snippets
of HAML to create the pieces of the form. To do this, I'd like to be
able to take a string of HAML and convert it into a string of HTML.
Searching the web I've found the following method for doing this:
engine = Haml::Engine.new("<HAML STRING>")
engine.render(Object.new, locals) # where locals is a string of
local variables to make available to the template.
However, I'd like to include Rails tag helpers (like link_to or
text_field) in the templates, and when using the above method those
helpers aren't available and generate errors like "undefined method
`text_field' for #<Object:0x7fbb9fc>".
I see that the render and render_proc methods allow you to provide a
binding instead of an object, but I'm afraid my ruby expertise isn't
quite up to the task of figuring out how this would be done to provide
the capability of using rails tag helpers in the render so I can do
the conversion.
Any experts out there that could point me in the right direction so I
can parse HAML (with Rails tag helpers) from a string of HAML to a
string of HTML?
Thank you,
David Schmidt
