webpack-blocks - less

This is the less block providing less support for webpack. Uses less via less-loader.

Usage

const { createConfig } = require('@webpack-blocks/webpack')
const less = require('webpack-blocks-less')
 
module.exports = createConfig([
  less(/* less options */)
])

Use match() to explicitly specify on which files to apply the block:

const { createConfig, match } = require('@webpack-blocks/webpack')
const less = require('webpack-blocks-less')
 
module.exports = createConfig([
  match('*.scss', { exclude: path.resolve('node_modules') }, [
    less(/* less options */)
  ])
])

Options

minimize (optional)

Enable CSS minification (by passing this option to css-loader).

less options

You can pass any less-loader as an object to the less block.

Examples

Extract text plugin

Use the extract-text block to extract the compiled Less styles into a separate CSS file:

const { createConfig, match, env } = require('@webpack-blocks/webpack')
const less = require('webpack-blocks-less')
const extractText = require('@webpack-blocks/extract-text')
 
module.exports = createConfig([
  match('*.scss', [
    less({ minimize: true }),
    env('production', [extractText()])
  ])
])

Make sure you use the extract-text block after the less block.

CSS Modules

You can use Less in combination with CSS modules.

const { createConfig, match } = require('@webpack-blocks/webpack')
const less = require('webpack-blocks-less')
const { css } = require('@webpack-blocks/assets')
 
module.exports = createConfig([
  match('*.les', [
    less(),
    css.modules()
  ])
])

PostCSS

You can use the Less block together with PostCSS (using the postcss block) and its plugins, like the Autoprefixer.

const { createConfig, match } = require('@webpack-blocks/webpack')
const less = require('webpack-blocks-less')
const postcss = require('@webpack-blocks/postcss')
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
 
module.exports = createConfig([
  match('*.less', [
    less(),
    postcss([autoprefixer()])
  ])
])
