HAML to HTML converter on Windows

Question

Is there a haml to html converter for windows I see it on ubuntu we uses grunt. Ex. In the terminal grunt haml converts my code .haml to .php offline. Do windows have app or something?

Answer 1

There's grunt-haml-php. But it doesn't work well on windows. In order to make it run on windows, you have to make some hacks into it.

After installation is done, find node_moules/grunt-haml-php/tasks/haml.js file and we have to do some tweak like this.

...
var compileHaml = function(item, cb) {
  var args = ['-t', hamlTarget || 'php', item ];
  // change the above line to the following
  // var args = [path.join(__dirname, '../bin/haml'), '-t', hamlTarget || 'php', item ];
  ...

  var child = grunt.util.spawn({
    cmd: path.join(__dirname, '../bin/haml'),
    // change the above line to the following
    // cmd: 'php',
    args: args
  }, function(error, result, code) {
     cb(error, result.stdout);
  });
  ...

grunt-haml-php uses MtHaml, but looks like MtHaml is still not stable. It lacks many features yet.
