Hello all, I started using HAML today. I want to convert this 9 lines
chunk of .html.erb into HAML
<p><%= f.label :name %><%= f.text_field :name %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :address %><%= f.text_field :address %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :country %><%= f.text_field :country %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :contact %><%= f.text_field :contact %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :email %><%= f.text_field :email %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :uri, "URI" %><%= f.text_field :uri %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :phone %><%= f.text_field :phone %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :fax %><%= f.text_field :fax %></
p>
<p><%= f.label :purchase_order %><%= f.text_field :purchase_order %></
p>
I wish that this could be represented as:
%p= f.label :name ; f.text_field :name
%p= f.label :address ; f.text_field :address
%p= f.label :country ; f.text_field :country
%p= f.label :contact ; f.text_field :contact
%p= f.label :email ; f.text_field :email
%p= f.label :uri, "URI" ; f.text_field :uri
%p= f.label :phone ; f.text_field :phone
%p= f.label :fax ; f.text_field :fax
%p= f.label :purchase_order; f.text_field :purchase_order
But unfortunately that does not work. It looks like the semicolon is
not supported. Therefore, if I am to preserve the number od lines and
columns alignment, I am forced to do this:
%p== #{f.label :name} #{f.text_field :name}
%p== #{f.label :address} #{f.text_field :address}
%p== #{f.label :country} #{f.text_field :country}
%p== #{f.label :contact} #{f.text_field :contact}
%p== #{f.label :email} #{f.text_field :email}
%p== #{f.label :uri, "URI"} #{f.text_field :uri}
%p== #{f.label :phone} #{f.text_field :phone}
%p== #{f.label :fax} #{f.text_field :fax}
%p== #{f.label :purchase_order} #{f.text_field :purchase_order}
And if I want to get rid of all those extra braces, the I have to
triple the number of lines:
%p
= f.label :name
= f.text_field :name
%p
= f.label :address
= f.text_field :address
%p
= f.label :country
= f.text_field :country
%p
= f.label :contact
= f.text_field :contact
%p
= f.label :email
= f.text_field :email
%p
= f.label :uri, "URI"
= f.text_field :uri
%p
= f.label :phone
= f.text_field :phone
%p
= f.label :fax
= f.text_field :fax
%p
= f.label :purchase_order
= f.text_field :purchase_order
So, in summary, I think that HAML is great but if I could use the
semicolon (or something similar) it would be better.
