def post_tag post, &block
  classes = ["post", ("gray" unless post.published?)]

Answer 2

Really the best thing is to put it into a helper.

%div{ :class => published_class(post) }

#some_helper.rb

def published_class(post)
  "post #{post.published? ? '' : 'gray'}"
end

Answer 3

HAML has a nice built in way to handle this:

.post{class: [!post.published? && "gray"] }

The way that this works is that the conditional gets evaluated and if true, the string gets included in the classes, if not it won't be included.

Answer 4

.post{:class => ("gray" unless post.published?)}

Answer 5

Updated Ruby syntax:

.post{class: ("gray" unless post.published?)}
