how to run ruby in haml in javascript definition?

Question

• how can I run ruby code inside javascript in haml?
• if I use var = #{message} in my example I get undefined local variable or method message

Answer 1

The haml documentation for filters states that you can interpolate Ruby code using #{}

- flavor = "raspberry"
#content
  :textile
    I *really* prefer _#{h flavor}_ jam.
