this one is all you Daniel, if you can come up with a good way of doing it.

I have this working (mostly).
You can check it out at http://github.com/jonuts/merb-mo....
$merb-gen app myapp --haml adds a merb-haml dependency as well as generating application.html.haml. If "merb-haml" is listed as a dependency then when you generate a controller or resource it hamlizes all of the views.

Yeah, I suck at git and messed up the repo pretty horrendously.
New repo: http://github.com/jonuts/merb-more

jonuts,
I could generate the application.html.haml file ok, but when i try to generate a controller i get this error:
~/testbed/foox $ merb-gen controller bar
/Users/jackdempsey/testbed/foox/app/views/layout/application.html.haml:3: Illegal Nesting: Nesting within plain text is illegal. (Haml::SyntaxError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/haml-1.8.2/lib/haml/precompiler.rb:296:in `push_plain'
Looking at application.html.haml and seeing the <% %> tags in it, it doesn't seem right....any thoughts?

Ah sorry. Update your templater gem. I made an adjustment to templater before I submitted this.

hey jonuts,
Thanks, i updated things and it looks like it works nicely. I was talking with wycats and others about this functionality and we agreed that given the specificity of this being a haml related feature, it should really belong in merb-haml.
At this point I'm not sure we have a clear way of hooking things into from merb-haml, but given the desire to use haml, and the value this patch provides, I'm sure we'll figure out a way. I'll update this again when we're there.
thx again!

Cool.
I disagree about this being a haml specific feature though. It's a template feature that defaults to erb and supports haml. It is trivial to add support for other template languages as well. The way I set it up does happen to be haml specific but that is also easily changed.
I see it as the same way you are able to set your orm from the command line, you should be able to set your template language of choice as well.

The ORM:s are being moved out to their respective plugins, where they were before. Moving those templates into merb-gen was only a temporary measure to smooth the transition.
I've spoken with wycats about this and we agreed that this belongs in merb-haml and not in merb-gen itself. Merb-gen should stay as small as possible. I'll check out the changes and we should be able to figure out a way of making this work.

BTW... if we are serious about this, maybe we should add a hook into merb-core to specify a default templating language (like we do for ORM and testing framework) that way, we won't have to specify --haml all the time when generating things. I'm not sure if this is overkill?

I agree, --haml was one piece I wanted to look at changing.
Something like "use_templater :haml" or "use_views :haml"? I'm sure we can come up with a good name for it.

This is now merged and you can all merrily use your fancy haml views. Have fun.
use_template_engine :haml
