How do I use Haml in a view in my new plugin?
- by Eric
I'm creating a new plugin for a jruby on rails application that will eventually be turned into a gem. Inside my plugin I have controllers, helpers and views. For my views I'd like to use Haml. The problem is that I can't seem to get it to recognize that they are haml templates. Is it even possible to do this? Is there a way for a plugin to have Haml as a dependency for its view? And by that I mean, I intend for the plugin that I'm creating to have a view created by the plugin, that can be used by the application developer.
for example:
vendor/
plugins/
my_plugin/
lib/
app/
views/
my_plugin_demo/
index.haml.html
controllers/
my_plugin_demo_controller.rb
helpers/
In my plugin's init.rb, I tried:
require 'my_plugin'
require 'haml' #doesn't seem to make a difference :(
but that didn't seem to make any difference. Has anybody had any experience with this? I can't seem to find any documentation on how to make this work. Are plugin views restricted to .erb templates?
