Guard::Haml

Watches HAML files, compiles them to HTML on change.

• Compatible with HAML >= 3.
• Tested against Ruby 2.2.5, 2.3.1, Rubinius & JRuby (1.9 mode only).

Install

Please be sure to have Guard installed before continuing.

Add Guard::Haml to your Gemfile:

group:developmentdogem'guard-haml'end

Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:

$ guard init haml

Options

Configuring the input folder + automatic watchers generation

Use the :input option to define the folder where your HAML files are stored. This options also ensure the input folder won't be part of the output path.

If you set the :input option and don't define any watchers, Guard::Haml will automatically generates watchers with the pattern %r{^#{options[:input]}/(.+(\.html)?\.haml)$}. For instance:

guard:haml,input: 'markup'

is equivalent to:

guard:haml,input: 'markup'dowatch%r{^markup/(.+(\.html)?\.haml)$}end

Configuring the output destination

If you want to change the output directory use the :output option in your Guardfile, e.g.:

guard:haml,output: 'public'dowatch%r{^src/.+(\.html\.haml)}end

This output is relative to the Guardfile.

Multiple output option

This lets you compile to two (or more) html files from one haml file. This comes in handy if you want to compile to both a dev and prod build directory, for instance:

guard:haml,input: 'markup',output: ['public/dev','public/build']dowatch%r{^.+(\.haml)$}end

If you maintain your haml files in a directory that should not be part of the output path, you can set the :input option, e.g.:

guard:haml,input: 'src',output: 'public'dowatch%r{^src/.+(\.html\.haml)}end

So when you edit a file src/partials/_partial.html.haml it will be saved to public/partials/_partial.html without the src.

File extensions

Guard::Haml will try to add the correct extension based on the input file name. You can provide multiple extensions to control the file name.

"foo.haml" -> "foo.html""foo" -> "foo.html""foo.txt" -> "foo.txt.html""foo.php.haml" -> "foo.php"

You can override the default extension (html) using the :default_ext option:

guard:haml,default_ext: 'txt'dowatch%r{^src/.+(\.html\.haml)}end

Compile when starting guard

If you want to compile haml files when Guard starts you can use :run_at_start option.

guard:haml,output: 'public',input: 'src',run_at_start: truedowatch%r{^src/.+(\.html\.haml)}end

Guard notifications

You can disable Guard notifications by setting :notifications option to false:

guard'haml',output: 'public',input: 'src',notifications: truedowatch%r{^src/.+(\.html\.haml)}end

Configuring HAML

If you want to pass options to the Haml engine, you can set the :haml_options option, e.g.:

guard:haml,output: 'public',input: 'src',haml_options: {ugly: true}dowatch%r{^src/.+(\.html\.haml)}end

This will produce compressed HTML. See Haml Reference for more details.
