connect-lesscss v0.2.0

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)).
