Is it possible to access a Module from within a haml file?

I'd like to create sort my helpers into sub-modules, in order to make the code cleaner. For example, I'd like to implement something like this:

= UI.spawn_component(UI.alert, UI.error, "message")

I already tried just creating a module in my helper module like this:

module StyleguideHelper
  module UI
    def spawn_component(user, type)
      return user
    end
  end
end

And I also tried to create the module in a different file and require it from my helper file. Both of those didn't work.

First, make sure that the file is named correctly so that autoloading works correctly. If the module is called StyleguideHelper then the file must be named styleguide_helper.rb. I would place this file in app/helpers unless you've setup lib for autoloading. Define your modules in that file like this:

module StyleguideHelper
  module UI
    def self.spawn_component(user, type)
      return user
    end
  end
end

You should then be able to use the helper in your view like this:

= StyleguideHelper::UI.spawn_component(user, type)
