How to write if-condition in Haml?

In haml two operators are used for ruby code.

  • = is used for ruby code which is evaluated and gets inserted into document.

Example:

= form_for @user  
  • - is used for ruby code which is evaluated and NOT get inserted into document.

Example:

- if @user.signed_in?  
  = "Hi"  
- else  
  = "Please sign in!"

HAML is indentation based , and the parser can be tricky.You don't need to use "- end" in Haml. Use indentation instead.In Haml,a block begins whenever the indentation is increased after a Ruby evaluation command. It ends when the indentation decreases.Sample if else block as follows.

- if condition
  = something
- else
  = something_else

A practical example

- if current_user
  = link_to 'Logout', logout_path
- else
  = link_to 'Login', login_path

Edit : If you just want to use if condition then

 - if current_user
  = link_to 'Logout', logout_path
