budo-less
Experiments with LESS and budo. For a custom dev script, e.g. using PostCSS or SASS, see API Example.
Install
npm install budo-less -gFor pretty printing, you can pipe to garnish.
Example
budo-less src/index.js:bundle.js --live --less style.less | garnishNow, when you hit http://localhost:9966/, the default HTML index will look like this:
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>hello</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>When the server requests style.css, it will pre-process your specified --less file on the fly, writing CSS to the response.
When you make changes to .less files in your working directory, it will trigger a CSS LiveReload without refreshing the page.
Usage
The CLI behaves like budo, with the following extra options:
Usage:
budo-less [opts] -- [browserifyOpts]
Options:
--live enable LiveReload for HTML/LESS
--less path to your LESS entry point
--css optional URL for the CSS href
--paths optional list of paths for LESS (colon-delimited in unix)
--autoprefix optional; enable autoprefix for given browsersThe --css flag defaults to the filename of --less.
Examples:
budo-less foo.js --less=foo/main.less | garnish
budo-less foo.js --css=static/main.css --less=src/main.less
budo-less foo.js --less=main.css --autoprefix="last 2 browsers"API Example
This is fairly simple to achieve using the budo API.
See test/api-example.js for an example of this.
