    ]
});
```


## Options

+ Default: `false`
+ Type: `Boolean`

If you specify `true`, the plugin will insert compiled CSS into `<head/>` tag.

### output

+ Default: `rollup.build.css`

+ Type: `String|Function|Boolean`

If you specify a string, it will be the path to write the generated CSS.
If you specify a function, call it passing the generated CSS as an argument.
If you specify a boolean, true will write the generated CSS to `rollup.build.css`, false won't write the file.

### include

+ Default: `[ '**/*.less', '**/*.css' ]`

+ Type: `String|Array`

Minimatch pattern or array of minimatch patterns to determine which files are transpiled by the plugin.

### exclude

+ Default: `node_modules/**`

+ Type: `String|Array`

Minimatch pattern or array of minimatch patterns to determine which files are explicitly not transpiled by the plugin, overrules the `include` option.

### option

+ Type: `Object`

Options for [less](http://lesscss.org/usage/#programmatic-usage).
