Handlebars block helpers screwed up in HAML

Question

I need to use some handlebars block helpers inside of an element's attribute. How can I get

.some.class{:class => "{{if property}} otherClass {{/if}}"}

to parse properly? Here is the compiled output as is:

<div class='class otherClass property}} some {{/if}} {{if'></div>

I've tried escaping every non-word character, trying single quotes, and adjusting the spacing, but nothing seems to fix it. I'm hoping to find a more elegant solution than just using the :plain keyword.

Answer 1

I've found that you need to add some character before the {{}} for Haml to accept it. For example:

%div.some.class{:class => "a{{foo}}"}

Not idea, but suites my purposes.
