Experimental gem to automatically remove unnecessary html tags from your slim output.
As outlined in this styleguide and the HTML5 specification it is safe to omit certain start or end tags from your code.
This gem adds an extra processing step to convert this Slim code:
doctype html
html
head
title Example
body
p ExampleTo this html output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Example</title>
<p>ExampleAt the moment the gem is very generic and does not implement all the removal rules outlined in the specification (e.g. not removing a tag if it is followed by whitespace or a HTML comment etc.). Hopefully this detail can be added in a future release.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'slim-slimmer', github: 'neilang/slim-slimmer'And then execute:
$ bundle
For best results it is recommended that you change the output format from xhtml to html as this removes the end slash in self-closing tags:
Slim::Engine.options[:format] = :htmlYou can optionally disable the slimmer feature via this configuration:
Slim::Engine.options[:slimmer] = false
