Introduction
connect-lesscss is Connect
middleware that compiles LESS to CSS. Since
express is built on top of Connect,
connect-lesscss will allow you to compile LESS with expressjs.
Installation
npm install connect-lesscss
Usage
Example using express:
less = require('connect-lesscss')
app = require('express').createServer()
app.use("/main.css", less("path/to/main.less", {
paths: ["path/to/other/less/files"]
}));
app.listen(80);
The middleware builder takes two arguments source and options
-
source: The path to the main .less file to compile -
options: Object of options with the following keys-
paths: Array of paths to .less files for@imports
-
If options.paths is not defined, it will default to the directory
containing the source file (path.dirname(source)).
