HAML to Phlex, Slim to Phlex

[bb]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In some Projects, I use HAML or Slim templates. It would be great if I could convert snippets from there to Phlex in one simple step.

Describe the solution you'd like
When pasting/typing into the ERB field, it would be nice to auto-detect the input format (ERB or HAML or Slim) and do the transformation to Phlex.
Instead of auto-detect, it could be aided by a format select box providing the available values.

One could try going directly from HAML to Phlex using e.g. https://github.com/LukeClancy/haml2phlex or from HAML to ERB e.g. using https://github.com/elia/haml2erb and then use the existing approach for ERB to Phlex. Another option might be integrating Tilt and changing its evaluation from executing to outputting the Ruby code.

Hey @bb, thanks for opening this issue!

Do you want to spike this idea to see where it could go? I think I'd personally prefer the haml2erb way as a "pre-step" so we can leverage the whole remaining logic phlexing has around custom elements, Rails helpers, component names, method extraction etc.

Hi @marcoroth,

thanks for the guidance regarding the pre-step. I already considered doing a spike but also wanted to post the request here to gauge interest, get recommendations like yours and of course because I'm lazy 😜.

I'll give it a shot, but if anybody wants to take this, please go ahead.
