How to send back js.haml in rails

Question

I have a rails create action which send back some jquery in a file:

create.js.erb

var appearance = $(\"<%= escape_javascript(rend         


        

Answer 1

In a js.haml it would look something like

!= "var appearance = $('<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => @appearance)) %>').effect('highlight', {color: '#E6ff00'}, 2000);"
!= "$('#sortable').append(appearance);"
!= "$('#new_appearance')[0].reset();"

Note the HAML != syntax which prevents the generated text from being HTML escaped. I do agree that ERB is a better fit here, but for consistency stake you might still want to go the HAML way.
