grunt-contrib-stylus

Compile Stylus files to CSS.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-stylus --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-stylus');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade, but in case you can't please use v0.3.1.

Run this task with the grunt stylus command.

use

Type: Array

import

Type: Array

Import given stylus packages into every compiled .styl file, as if you wrote @import '...' in every single one of said files.

Examples

stylus: {
  compile: {
    options: {
      paths: ['path/to/import', 'another/to/import'],
      urlfunc: 'embedurl', // use embedurl('test.png') in our code to trigger Data URI embedding
      use: [
        require('fluidity') // use stylus plugin at compile time
      ],
      import: [    //  @import 'foo', 'bar/moo', etc. into every .styl file
      'foo',       //  that is compiled. These might be findable based on values you gave
      'bar/moo'    //  to `paths`, or a plugin you added under `use`
      ]
    },
    files: {
      'path/to/result.css': 'path/to/source.styl', // 1:1 compile
      'path/to/another.css': ['path/to/sources/*.styl', 'path/to/more/*.styl'] // compile and concat into single file
    }
  }
}
