README

HAML Symfony bundle using the MtHaml PHP HAML parser.

Features

• Acts as a Twig preprocessor: Supports Twig functions, filters, macros, blocks, inheritance, expressions and every Twig features
• Mix Twig and HAML templates: You can include, extend, use and import Twig templates from HAML templates, and vice versa.
• High performance: Templates are compiled to PHP code and cached, no parsing or runtime overhead.
• HAML syntax supported by editors

Installation

Step 1: Download MtHaml and MtHamlBundle

Ultimately, the MtHaml files should be downloaded to the vendor/MtHaml directory, and the MtHamlBundle files to the vendor/bundles/MtHamlBundle directory.

This can be done in several ways, depending on your preference. The first method is the standard Symfony2 method.

Using Composer

$ composer require mthaml/mthaml-bundle:dev-master

(You can skip Step 2 if you are using this method as Composer will handle autoloading for you.)

Using the vendors script

Add the following lines in your deps file:

[MtHaml]
    git=git://github.com/arnaud-lb/MtHaml.git
    target=MtHaml
[MtHamlBundle]
    git=git://github.com/arnaud-lb/MtHamlBundle.git
    target=bundles/MtHamlBundle

Now, run the vendors script to download the bundle:

$ php bin/vendors install

Using submodules

If you prefer instead to use git submodules, the run the following:

$ git submodule add git://github.com/arnaud-lb/MtHamlBundle.git vendor/bundles/MtHamlBundle
$ git submodule add git://github.com/arnaud-lb/MtHaml.git vendor/MtHaml
$ git submodule update --init

Step 2: Configure the Autoloader

You can skip this step if you used composer to install the bundle.

Add the MtHaml and MtHamlBundle namespaces to your autoloader:

<?php
// app/autoload.php

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
    'MtHaml'       => __DIR__ . '/../vendor/MtHaml/lib',
    'MtHamlBundle' => __DIR__ . '/../vendor/bundles',
));

Step 3: Enable the bundle

Finally, enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new MtHamlBundle\MtHamlBundle(),
    );
}

Step 4: Configure the MtHamlBundle

# app/config/config.yml

framework:
    # ...
    templating:
        engines: ['haml','twig']

# required, for Symfony to load the bundle configuration
mt_haml:

(This is required, for Symfony to load the bundle configuration.)

Step 5: Use it

With the @Template() annotation:

/**
 * @Template(engine="haml")
 */
public function fooAction() {

With the @Haml() annotation:

The @Haml annotation is a sub class of @Template with engine set to haml by default.

/**
 * @Haml
 */
public function fooAction() {

With ->render()

public function bazAction() {
    $this->render('FooBundle:Bar:baz.html.haml');
}

With FOSRestBundle:

/**
 * @View(engine="haml")
 */
public function fooAction() {

Syntax

Commands

mthaml:debug:dump

The mthaml:debug:dump command compiles a HAML templates into Twig and displays the resulting Twig template.

For debug purposes.

Example:

php ./app/console mthaml:debug:dump AcmeDemoBundle:Demo:index.html.haml
