About

API

The following is appended to the core Rump API:

rump.addGulpTasks(options)

This module adds the following tasks:

• build:less will process LESS stylesheets with LESS and Autoprefixer. For more information on source and destination paths see rump.configure() below. This task is also added to the build task.
• watch:less will run build:less, then monitor for changes and process updated files as needed. This task is also added to the watch task.
• info:less will display information on what this specific module does, specifically the source and destination paths as well as what files would get processed. This task is also added to the info task.

rump.configure(options)

Redefine options for Rump and Rump modules to follow. In addition to what options Rump and other Rump modules offer, the following options are available alongside default values:

options.paths.source.less ('styles')

This is the directory where styles to be processed are contained. This path is relative to the root source path. (If the default root and LESS path is used, then the path would be src/styles)

options.paths.destination.less ('styles')

This is the directory where styles are copied to. This path is relative to the root destination path. (If the default root and LESS path is used, then the path would be dist/styles)

options.globs.build.less ('*.less')

This specifies which stylesheets to process. By default it processes all LESS files in the immediate directory of the root source path for styles.

options.globs.watch.less ('**/*.less')

This specifies which stylesheets to monitor for changes. By default it watches all LESS files in the root source path for styles, including those in subdirectories.

options.styles.minify (options.environment === 'production')

This specifies whether to minify generated CSS. (minified if true) By default CSS is minified only if the environment is set to production. (visit the main Rump repository for more information on environment)

options.styles.sourceMap (options.environment === 'development')

This specifies whether to include inline source maps to generated CSS. (source maps included if true) By default source maps are included only if the environment is set to development. (visit the main Rump repository for more information on environment)

options.styles.autoprefixer

This specifies any options you want to add to Autoprefixer. (specifically less-plugin-autoprefix)

options.styles.less

This specifies any options you want to override in LESS. (specifically gulp-less) Compression plugin by default is included or excluded based on the minify option above. Default search paths for @import are also added, including: node_modules, bower_components, and root source path for styles detailed above.

rump.configs.less

This contains the generated options that are passed to LESS in the Gulp task. This is a good way to see what options are generated based on defaults and overrides.
