build status grunt-less (deprecated)

This grunt plugin has been deprecated. If you're looking for a less grunt plugin, check out grunt-contrib-less.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-less

Then add this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-less');

Documentation

This task is a multi task, meaning that grunt will automatically iterate over all less targets if a target is not specified.

Target Properties

  • src(required): The LESS file(s) to be compiled. Can be either a string or an array of strings. If more than one LESS file is provided, each LESS file will be compiled individually and then concatenated together.
  • dest(required): The path where the output from the LESS compilation should be placed. Must be a string as there can be only one destination.
  • options(optional): An object of LESS options. As of right now, the only options supported are compress and yuicompress.

Example

// project configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  less: {
    signup: {
      src: 'signup.less',
      dest: 'signup.css'
    },
    homepage: {
      src: ['banner.less', 'app.less'],
      dest: 'homepage.css',
      options: {
        yuicompress: true
      }
    },
    all: {
      src: '*.less',
      dest: 'all.css',
      options: {
        compress: true
      }
    }
  }
});

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.
