This plugin for the CakePHP Framework allows you to use the Haml to create your views.
Haml? - XHTML Abstraction Markup Language.
Haml is a markup language that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the XHTML of any web document, without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ERB, and ASP. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding XHTML into the template, because it is actually an abstract description of the XHTML, with some code to generate dynamic content.
The view class itself is pretty solid, however not all sorts of Haml^Cake has been thrown at it yet.
Check out the examples directory. Converting entire CakePHP views looks perfectly possible, even at this early state. I am almost entirely happy with the outcome, but see for yourself.
The renderer is a copy of a phpHaml fork i found on GitHub, which is maintained by glasserc. I chose it over the sourceforge original as it contains lots of contributed fixes.
Furthermore, i've forked the phpHaml fork myself so i can extend and fix it as i see fit. First thing i did was adding the new doctypes outlined in the official HAML_REFERENCE.
- Haml comments are not removed (
-# some comment) - Some more tiny syntax stuff, see examples
- Multiline is a little bit weird
- ^ That includes spanning method calls over multiple lines
git clone --recursive git://github.com/m3nt0r/cakephp-haml-view.git haml
Add the View to your app_controller.php
class AppController extends Controller {
public $view = 'Haml.Haml'; // use twig
}
Create .haml files inside your view folders
