Why | |
--- | |
My site is backbone.js and rails, including the static marketing content. I wanted this content to be readable by google and I don't want two copies. | |
Background | |
---------- | |
I'm using the haml_assets gem so I can write backbone.js views in haml. | |
Routes | |
------ | |
root :to => "pages#home" | |
controller :pages do | |
get 'site' => :home | |
get 'site/:template' => :site | |
post 'enquiry' => :enquiry | |
end | |
Controller | |
---------- | |
def home | |
@javascript_template = 'home' | |
render :home | |
end | |
def site | |
@javascript_template = params[:template] || 'home' | |
render :home | |
end | |
home.html.haml | |
--------------- | |
- engine = Haml::Engine.new(File.read("#{Rails.root}/app/assets/javascripts/site/template/_header.jst.ejs.haml")) | |
= engine.render(self) | |
:javascript | |
$(function() { | |
backboneStart('site/{@javascript_template}'); | |
}); | |
- engine = Haml::Engine.new(File.read("#{Rails.root}/app/assets/javascripts/site/template/page/#{@javascript_template}.jst.ejs.haml")) | |
= engine.render(self) | |
_header.jst.ejs.haml | |
-------------------- | |
/ all links have a fallback site template to link to for website crawlers to visit | |
/ The view should capture this (ie.,click #anonBenefit ...) | |
%a.brand#anonHome{href: '/'} | |
.left10.right10 | |
T4Manager.com | |
%ul.nav | |
%li | |
%a#anonBenefit{href: '/site/benefit'} | |
.left10.right10 | |
Benefits | |
%li | |
%a#anonFeature{href: '/site/feature'} | |
.left10.right10 | |
