less-vendor v0.0.1

less-vendor

hacky module to make nice with not needing a god damn mixin for every god damn vendor prefixed property.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• This is totally not tested!
• The __vendor__ crud will not be present in your compiled CSS, for now it's a necessary evil.
• the less parser doesn't give you the property being parsed which is why you need to duplicate the property name when using vendor prefix values function.
• there are no checks for supported prefixes, -[moz|ms|o|webkit]- prefixes will be created indiscriminately.
• if you got a better solution — for doing this using less css, not sass, stylus or any other pre-compiler — let me know and I'll kill this repo and use that instead.

installation and usage

install

    npm install -g less-vendor

use

    lessv "PATH/TO.less" "PATH/TO.css"

it's pretty much a straight out rip of the lessc CLI program, so the same options apply.

lessv will display the same help options as lessc.

vendor prefix properties

    .selector {
       __vendor__ : property( transition, all 400ms ease-in-out );
       }

generates

    .selector {
           -moz-transition    : all 400ms ease-in-out;
           -ms-transition     : all 400ms ease-in-out;
           -o-transition      : all 400ms ease-in-out;
           -webkit-transition : all 400ms ease-in-out;
       transition : all 400ms ease-in-out;
       }

vendor prefix values

    .selector {
       background-image : prefix( background-image, linear-gradient, e( "180deg, #000 0%, #fff 100%" )  );
       }

generates

    .selector {
           background-image : -moz-linear-gradient( 180deg, #000 0%, #fff 100% );
           background-image : -ms-linear-gradient( 180deg, #000 0%, #fff 100% );
           background-image : -o-linear-gradient( 180deg, #000 0%, #fff 100% );
           background-image : -webkit-linear-gradient( 180deg, #000 0%, #fff 100% );
       background-image : linear-gradient( 180deg, #000 0%, #fff 100% );
       }

vendor combo type stuff

    .selector {
       __vendor__ : property( transition, e( "-vendor-transform 400ms ease-in-out" ) );
       }

generates

    .selector {
           -moz-transition    : -moz-transform 400ms ease-in-out;
           -ms-transition     : -ms-transform 400ms ease-in-out;
           -o-transition      : -o-transform 400ms ease-in-out;
           -webkit-transition : -webkit-transform 400ms ease-in-out;
       transition : transform 400ms ease-in-out;
       }
