It help watch .less files for changes. When file is modified or just touched, it recompile instantly.

Install

Install it globally by use npm install -g less-seeker.

Using

Just open console on directory containing less files and run less-seeker. It'll compile all your primary files to CSS files, without compile dependencies. So it will stay in watch mode, waiting for files modifications.

Behavior

After watch start, when you modify some less file, it'll check for the primary less file and will compile it, telling you why it is happening.

If you create a new less file, it'll be compiled too, instantly. If you include this file in some other less file, this file will be considered like a dependency of it and will auto-clean erroneous CSS or SourceMap created by compilation process.

If you remove some file, it'll be detached from primary less files and will start recompile process too.

Options

To see common options, just type less-seeker --help. To show all options supported, type less-seeker --help=full.

Recomended Options

You can use a set of options to turn development more powerful. I suggest lessk-seeker --source-map --auto-clean. It'll help you create SourceMap of each primary less files and will auto-clean CSS and SourceMap files that is not more need.
