# HAML
[HAML](https://haml.info/) is the [Ruby on Rails](https://rubyonrails.org/) template language that GitLab uses.
## HAML and our Pajamas Design System
[GitLab UI](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-ui/) is a Vue component library that conforms
to the [Pajamas design system](https://design.gitlab.com/). Many of these components
rely on JavaScript and therefore can only be used in Vue.
However, some of the simpler components (such as buttons, checkboxes, or form inputs) can be
used in HAML:
- Some of the Pajamas components are available as a [ViewComponent](view_component.md#pajamas-components). Use these when possible.
- If no ViewComponent exists, why not go ahead and create it? Talk to the Foundations team if you need help.
- As a fallback, this can be done by applying the correct CSS classes to the elements.
- A custom
[Ruby on Rails form builder](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/7c108df101e86d8a27d69df2b5b1ff1fc24133c5/lib/gitlab/form_builders/gitlab_ui_form_builder.rb) exists to help use GitLab UI components in HAML forms.
### Use the GitLab UI form builder
To use the GitLab UI form builder:
1. Change `form_for` to `gitlab_ui_form_for`.
1. Change `f.check_box` to `f.gitlab_ui_checkbox_component`.
1. Remove `f.label` and instead pass the label as the second argument in `f.gitlab_ui_checkbox_component`.
For example:
- Before:
```haml
= form_for @group do |f|
.form-group.gl-mb-3
.gl-form-checkbox.custom-control.custom-checkbox
= f.check_box :prevent_sharing_groups_outside_hierarchy, disabled: !can_change_prevent_sharing_groups_outside_hierarchy?(@group), class: 'custom-control-input'
= f.label :prevent_sharing_groups_outside_hierarchy, class: 'custom-control-label' do
%span
= s_('GroupSettings|Prevent members from sending invitations to groups outside of %{group} and its subgroups.').html_safe % { group: link_to_group(@group) }
%p.help-text= prevent_sharing_groups_outside_hierarchy_help_text(@group)
.form-group.gl-mb-3
.gl-form-checkbox.custom-control.custom-checkbox
= f.check_box :lfs_enabled, checked: @group.lfs_enabled?, class: 'custom-control-input'
= f.label :lfs_enabled, class: 'custom-control-label' do
%span
= _('Allow projects within this group to use Git LFS')
= link_to sprite_icon('question-o'), help_page_path('topics/git/lfs/index')
%p.help-text= _('This setting can be overridden in each project.')
```
- After:
```haml
= gitlab_ui_form_for @group do |f|
.form-group.gl-mb-3
= f.gitlab_ui_checkbox_component :prevent_sharing_groups_outside_hierarchy,
s_('GroupSettings|Prevent members from sending invitations to groups outside of %{group} and its subgroups.').html_safe % { group: link_to_group(@group) },
help_text: prevent_sharing_groups_outside_hierarchy_help_text(@group),
checkbox_options: { disabled: !can_change_prevent_sharing_groups_outside_hierarchy?(@group) }
.form-group.gl-mb-3
= f.gitlab_ui_checkbox_component :lfs_enabled, checkbox_options: { checked: @group.lfs_enabled? } do |c|
= c.label do
= _('Allow projects within this group to use Git LFS')
= link_to sprite_icon('question-o'), help_page_path('topics/git/lfs/index')
= c.help_text do
= _('This setting can be overridden in each project.')
```

When using the GitLab UI form builder, the following components are available for use in HAML.
