I am using sammy for a web application that needs to render templates stored inline in the page. I am using a script tag to contain the markup, which is haml.
Is there a good, idiomatic way to render templates that are not loaded via ajax request? I have a solution, but I am not happy with it. $('#start_haml') is the script element containing the markup and $('#sammy_main') is the container to render into.
app.get '#/', (context) ->
context.load($('#start_haml')).then((data) ->
context.interpolate(data, {helpers: view_helpers})
).replace('#sammy_main')
Thanks to Aaron Quint for answering me on the Sammy.js mailing list
The answer is simple, but worth leaving here since it is not mentioned in the documentation.
context.render($('#start_haml'), {helpers: view_helpers})
.replace '#sammy_main'
NB. The second parameter to render() is the view data.
