Converts HTML code to HAML (for django-hamlpy)

HtmlToHaml

This script converts HTML code to HAML (for django-hamlpy). If you use django-hamlpy (https://github.com/nyaruka/django-hamlpy) as a template renderer for your django project you might find it hard to convert existing HTML code to HAML. Django-hamlpys HAML syntax is a little different from other HAML syntaxes so existing online converters won't work.
This script does work tho :)

Installation

Just clone this repo. No other dependencies required. The Script was developed and tested on Python 3.9.

Converting files

The script takes two important parameters input (required), the path to the input file and --output (optional) the output path. If --output is not set, the input filename with the .haml file extension will be used as the output file name.
Take a look at the script for more parameters

Examples

Example usage 1

HamlConverter.py index.html
Will save the result to index.haml

Example usage 2

HamlConverter.py index.html --output output.asdf
Will save the result to output.asdf

Link handlers

Django has its own template language to render links and static files (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial06/) You can overwrite the following methods to patch links patch_link_links, patch_a_links, patch_script_links and patch_img_links These methods take the link as input (eg. "/js/example.js" or "http://example.com/script.js") and return the patched script link. The default conversion for the first example would convert it to {% static '/js/example.js' %}

You probably want to overwrite these methods to make them work for your use case.

Improvements

The Script was tested on a "large" website and worked quite well. If you encounter a problem, feel free to submit a pull request.
