How can I use ruby variable in inline javascript in haml

Question

I have the following variable in my controller

class MyController < ApplicationController

  def my_method
    @status = "status"
  end
end

in my view haml, I tried following, but it does not work (since it uses the default .erb syntax)

#app/views/mycontroller/me_method.html.haml

:javascript
  alert(<%=raw @status %>)

How can I use a variable @statusinside my built-in java script, thanks in advance

Use the standard string interpolation syntax ( #{}).

#app/views/mycontroller/me_method.html.haml

:javascript
  alert(#{raw @status})

You can use simple "# {}" interpolation tags to use ruby variables using HAML.

Your code:

:javascript
    alert(<%=raw @status %>)

Possible Solution:

:javascript
    alert("#{@status}")
