Shortcuts for prop and scope?

[SebastianVomMeer]

Do you plan to add shortcuts for pakyow-data-attributes like you did for pakyow-slim? HAML-like

.tweet{ data: { scope: :tweet }  }

seems a little inconvenient.

It's something that should be possible but we haven't pursued it yet. What syntax would you like to see?

[SebastianVomMeer]

I don't know if there is a supported and therefore easy way to extend HAML. Ignoring that something like the SLIM approach seems fine:

.tweet@@tweet
  @name User's name

On the other hand, skipping the data in the hash notation looks more descriptive:

.tweet{ scope: :tweet }
  %div{ prop: :name }

However, hijacking the attribute definition syntax seems odd. HAML also has the object reference syntax, perhaps this could be extended to accept some kind of hash notiation:

.tweet[ scope: :tweet ]
  %div[ prop: :name ]

But as I said, I am not an expert in this domain.

Cool, I'd like to research what's possible. Any of the options you posted would work pretty well from a user's perspective. I am not expert on HAML either; used it briefly before moving onto SLIM. If you beat me to it, let me know what you find out!
