Render views as angular text/ng-template in rails

README.rdoc

Usage¶ ↑

1) Drop views and partials anywhere in app/views

|-- app
|   `-- views
|       `-- shared
|           `-- angular_views
|               |-- foo
|               |   `-- view3.html.haml
|               |-- _partial1.html.haml
|               |-- view1.html.haml
|               `-- view2.html.haml

2) Specify which directory should be included

%div(ng-app='MyApp')
  - angular_templates 'shared/angular_views'

3) Use the following url as templateUrl

• view1.html

• view2.html

• foo/view3.html

N.B.: Partials are not exposed

angular_helper.rb

module AngularHelper
  def angular_templates(location)
    app_views_location = File.join(Rails.root, 'app', 'views')
    
    base_location = File.join(app_views_location, location)
    to_strip_for_client_path = base_location
    to_strip_for_view_path = app_views_location
    
    Dir[File.join(base_location, '**', '*.html.haml')].each do |f|
      next if File.basename(f).start_with? '_'
      client_path = f[to_strip_for_client_path.length+1..-1].sub(/\.html\.haml$/, '.html')
      view_path = f[to_strip_for_view_path.length+1..-1].sub(/\.html\.haml$/, '')

      haml_tag :script, type: 'text/ng-template', id: client_path do
        haml_concat render file: view_path
      end
    end
  end
end
