Currently I have backbone RIA with rails backend. I'm using haml_coffee_assets gem for client-side templating. But I miss rails view helpers there.
I decided to add raw html strings into my backbone models. So, I have this kind of object in my coffeescript
Object
avatar: "/avatars/small/missing.png"
avatar_link: "<a href="/users/ortepko" class="author" id="user-nick-76"><img src="/avatars/small/missing.png" width="32" /></a>"
humanized_messages_number: "1 Message "
id: 76
login_name_link: "<a href="/users/ortepko" class="author" id="user-nick-76">ortepko</a>"
my template code becomes pretty simple
.text_content
.comment
= @contact.avatar_link
.text
= @contact.login_name_link
.messages
%a{href: '#'}
= @contact.humanized_messages_number
Now I want to render a template
JST['messages/yet_another_template'] {contact: contact}
But it does not seem to be working.
I have found an answer here: Partials in Coffee HAML (.hamlc)
My Template should look like
.text_content
.comment
!= @contact.avatar_link
.text
!= @contact.login_name_link
.messages
%a{href: '#'}
= @contact.humanized_messages_number
Thanks to Netzpirat!
