I managed to get this to work with Haml, not sure if these steps will work with slim but it's worth a shot.

1. Move the templates folder from app/assets/templates to app/assets/javascripts/templates

2. Create an initializer to register haml assets

   # config/initializers/haml.rb
   Rails.application.assets.register_engine '.haml', Tilt::HamlTemplate

3. give your file the .js extension. So my_template.html.haml becomes my_template.js.html.haml

4. When you use it in angular you have to include all the extensions:

   {
   templateUrl: 'my_template.js.html.haml'
   }

Good luck.

Thanks for the workaround!

It seems a little confusing though. So issue (feature request?) is still actual IMO.

I agree. Also it ideally shouldn't require all those file extensions. I also ran into a problem in that rails didn't seem to precompile these correctly.

Thanks a lot :)

Perhaps just with an optional configuration variable in config/application.rb?

After a second thought, I'm going to close this issue.
The "problem" with multiple files extensions is related to sprockets, since that's the way it works.
Currently, this gem can't precompile templates from other formats, like slim.
While it'd be awesome, it would be a new feature, not a bug to fix. If someone wants to work on it, I'd be glad to review and merge a pull request ❤️

How can this be done if one were building a Rails::Engine?

e.g.
Rails.application.assets.register_engine '.haml', Tilt::HamlTemplate
