Processing HAML from database in ruby on rails

Question

Wondering if it's possible to process HAML from database entries. My model currently processes HTML just fine, but I'd rather input HAML, and have the view process it into HTML.

Answer 1

If your view is being replaced entirely by something coming from your model/database, you can use render :inline to process it:

render :inline => @model.haml, :type => 'haml', :layout => true

Answer 2

Haml can be used programmatically: http://haml.info/docs/yardoc/Haml/Engine.html

There isn't enough detail in your question for me to give a more specific answer.
