# Using HAML-JS with Sprockets and Rails 3.1
## About
Rails 3.1 uses sprockets for its asset pipeline. Rails 3.1 has shown considerable love for SCSS and SASS but has left [HAML] out. We at [Dharana Software Innovations][] are die hard HAML fans. We beleive that it is the best templating language around. So we would like to have it as a part of our client side toolkit as well. The [haml-js] project does exactly that. It was written for Node.js but works well with the browser too.
## How to use it?
The gem includes [haml-js]. You would not have to download it separately. To use this gem, you need to do the following.
In the `Gemfile`, add the following line.
gem "haml-sprockets"
Now, you can create hamljs files under `app/assets/javascripts/templates` folder. You can create the templates folder, if it does not already exist.
// code for app/assets/javascripts/templates/hello.jst.hamljs
%h1 Hello HAML
You can now access the template anywhere in your javascript or coffeescript code.
JST["templates/hello"]()
This should give you back the string `"<h1>Hello HAML</h1>"`.
