Piping-styles

Similar stuff to piping and piping-browser but for stylesheets. currently supports stylus with (optional) nib.

Installation

npm install piping-styles

Usage

Piping-styles is not a binary, so you can continue using your current workflow for running your application ("wooo!"). Basic usage is as follows:

require("piping-styles")({main:"./client/styles/app.styl",out:"./public/app.css"});

Options

• main (path): The path to your top style
• out (path): The path to where you want your css to be written to. Relative to the file where piping-styles was required
• ignore (regex): Files/paths matching this regex will not be watched. Defaults to /(\/\.|~$)/
• watch (boolean): Whether or not piping should rebuild on changes. Defaults to true, could be set to false for production
• vendor (object): Specify configuration for building vendor files. Vendor files are concatenated in order, and written to the given path.
  • path (string): Directory where vendor files are located, relative to file where piping-styles was required
  • out (string): Path where vendor ouput should be written, relative to the file where piping-styles was required
  • files (array): Array of vendor files, relative to vendor path.
• build (object): An object that maps file extensions, eg ".styl" to functions that take a filename, file data, and a callback and compile the source, sending it to the callback.

Piping-styles can also be used just by passing two strings. In this case, the strings are taken as the main and out options

require("piping-styles")("./client/styles/app.styl","./public/app.css");

piping-styles plays nice with piping. To use it, ensure piping-styles is required when piping returns false:

if(!require("piping")()){
  require("piping-styles")("./client/styles/app.styl","./public/app.css");
  return;
}
