How to use best HTML abstraction markup language (Haml) easy

author @no___tea

Haml is my favorite tool to create HTML.

It accelerates and simplifies template creation down to veritable haiku.

Example

%section.container
  %h1= post.title
  %h2= post.subtitle
  .content
    = post.content

I prefer Haml rather than Slim because of its consistency. During more than 10 years of coding I’ve never met any case which Haml couldn’t solve elegant.

But there is just one thing. The main implementation of Haml is in Ruby, that’s why you must install it to use Haml.

I’ve created easy-to-use docker-image for Haml. It’s here.

How-to-use

Just pull image to your local environment

docker pull kalashnikovisme/haml-docker

and then run it

docker run --rm --volume "$PWD:/app" kalashnikovisme/haml-docker /app/YOUR_FILE.haml

You can find documentation at this Github repo.

Magic!
