How can I do to write "Text" just once and in the same time check if the path_info includes 'A'?

开发者_如何学JAVA- if !request.path_info.include? 'A'
  %{:id => 'A'}
   "Text"
- else
  "Text"

"Text" is written twice. How can I do to write it just once and in the same time check if the path_info includes 'A'?

There are two ways to do this. Using a partial, or using a content_for block:

If "Text" was longer, or was a significant subtree, you could extract it into a partial. This would DRY up your code a little. In the example given this would seem like overkill.

The better way in this case would be to use a content_for block, like so:

- if !request.path_info.include? 'A'
  %{:id => 'A'}
    =yield :content
- else
  =yield :content

-content_for :content do
  Text

Here we yield to the content_for block in both places, removing the need to duplicate "Text". I would say in this case this is your best solution.

You can make the attribute conditional using this constuct:

%{:id => ('A' if request.path_info.include? 'A')}
  "Text"

What about simply saving it inside a local variable?

- text = "Text"     
- if !request.path_info.include? 'A'
  %div{:id => 'A'}
    = text
- else
  = text

It's not ideal, but you can use HTML with HAML. The way I've done this is:

- if !request.path_info.include? 'A'
  <div id="A">
Text
- if !request.path_info.include? 'A'
  </div>

This is messy with such little text, but when Text is a large code block that you want to optionally wrap with a div, it can really help you follow DRY.

The short answer is you can't. HAML is a indentation specific format, hence it can't allow you to be able to do what you want without repetition since the two conditions are separate paths while parsing.
