=head1 NAME

Text::Haml - Haml Perl implementation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Text::Haml;

    my $haml = Text::Haml->new;

    my $html = $haml->render('%p foo'); # <p>foo</p>

    $html = $haml->render('= $user', user => 'friend'); # <div>friend</div>

    # Use Haml file
    $html = $haml->render_file('tmpl/index.haml', user => 'friend');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<Text::Haml> implements Haml
L<http://haml-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.HAML_REFERENCE.html> specification.

L<Text::Haml> passes specification tests written by Norman Clarke
http://github.com/norman/haml-spec and supports only cross-language Haml
features. Do not expect Ruby specific things to work.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

L<Text::Haml> implements the following attributes:

=head2 C<append>

Holds the string of code that is appended to the generated Perl code.

=head2 C<code>

Holds the Perl code.

=head2 C<compiled>

Holds compiled code.

=head2 C<encoding>

    $haml->encoding('utf-8');

Default is utf-8.

=head2 C<escape>

Escape subroutine presented as string.

Default is

    $haml->escape(<<'EOF');
        my $s = shift;
        $s =~ s/&/&amp;/g;
        $s =~ s/</&lt;/g;
        $s =~ s/>/&gt;/g;
        $s =~ s/"/&quot;/g;
        $s =~ s/'/&apos;/g;
        return $s;
    EOF

=head2 C<escape_html>

    $haml->escape_html(0);

Switch on/off Haml output html escaping. Default is on.

=head2 C<filters>

Holds filters.

=head2 C<format>

    $haml->format('xhtml');

Supported formats: xhtml, html, html5.

Default is xhtml.

=head2 C<namespace>

Holds the namespace under which the Perl package is generated.

=head2 C<prepend>

Holds the string of code that is prepended to the generated Perl code.

=head2 C<vars>

Holds the variables that are passed during the rendering.

=head2 C<vars_as_subs>

When options is B<NOT SET> (by default) passed variables are normal Perl
variables and are used with C<$> prefix.

    $haml->render('%p $var', var => 'hello');

When this option is B<SET> passed variables are Perl lvalue
subroutines and are used without C<$> prefix.

    $haml->render('%p var', var => 'hello');

But if you declare Perl variable in a block, it must be used with C<$>
prefix.

    $haml->render('<<EOF')
        - my $foo;
        %p= $foo
    EOF

=head2 C<helpers>

    helpers => {
        foo => sub {
            my $self   = shift;
            my $string = shift;

            $string =~ s/r/z/;

            return $string;
        }
    }

Holds helpers subroutines. Helpers can be called in Haml text as normal Perl
functions. See also add_helper.

=head2 C<helpers_arg>

    $haml->helpers_args($my_context);

First argument passed to the helper (L<Text::Haml> instance by default).

=head2 C<error>

    $haml->error;

Holds the last error.

=head2 C<tape>

Holds parsed haml elements.

=head2 C<path>

Holds path of Haml templates. Current directory is a default.
If you want to set several paths, arrayref can also be set up.
This way is the same as L<Text::Xslate>.

=head2 C<cache>

Holds cache level of Haml templates. 1 is a default.
0 means "Not cached", 1 means "Checked template mtime" and 2 means "Used always cached".
This way is the same as L<Text::Xslate>.

=head2 C<cache_dir>

Holds cache directory of Haml templates. $ENV{HOME}/.text_haml_cache is a default.
Unless $ENV{HOME}, File::Spec->tempdir was used.
This way is the same as L<Text::Xslate>.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 C<new>

    my $haml = Text::Haml->new;

=head2 C<add_helper>

    $haml->add_helper(current_time => sub { time });

Adds a new helper.

=head2 C<add_filter>

    $haml->add_filter(compress => sub { $_[0] =~ s/\s+/ /g; $_[0]});

Adds a new filter.

=head2 C<build>

    $haml->build(@_);

Builds the Perl code.

=head2 C<compile>

    $haml->compile;

Compiles parsed code.

=head2 C<interpret>

    $haml->interpret(@_);

Interprets compiled code.

=head2 C<parse>

    $haml->parse('%p foo');

Parses Haml string building a tree.

=head2 C<render>

    my $text = $haml->render('%p foo');

    my $text = $haml->render('%p var', var => 'hello');

Renders Haml string. Returns undef on error. See error attribute.

=head2 C<render_file>

    my $text = $haml->render_file('foo.haml', var => 'hello');

A helper method that loads a file and passes it to the render method.
Since "%____vars" is used internally, you cannot use this as parameter name.

=head1 PERL SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES

=head2 String interpolation

Despite of existing string interpolation in Perl, Ruby interpolation is also
supported.

$haml->render('%p Hello #{user}', user => 'foo')

=head2 Hash keys

When declaring tag attributes C<:> symbol can be used.

$haml->render("%a{:href => 'bar'}");

Perl-style is supported but not recommented, since your Haml template won't
work with Ruby Haml implementation parser.

$haml->render("%a{href => 'bar'}");
