grunt-contrib-less v1.4.1

Compile LESS files to CSS

Getting Started

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-less --save-dev

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

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

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 v0.3.2.

Less task

Run this task with the grunt less command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Options

paths

Type: String Array Function
Default: Directory of input file.

Specifies directories to scan for @import directives when parsing. Default value is the directory of the source, which is probably what you want.

If you specify a function the source filepath will be the first argument. You can return either a string or an array of paths to be used.

rootpath

Type: String
Default: ""

A path to add on to the start of every URL resource.

compress

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Compress output by removing some whitespaces.

plugins

Type: Array
Default: null

Allows passing plugins.

ieCompat

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Enforce the CSS output is compatible with Internet Explorer 8.

For example, the data-uri function encodes a file in base64 encoding and embeds it into the generated CSS files as a data-URI. Because Internet Explorer 8 limits data-uris to 32KB, the ieCompat option prevents less from exceeding this.

optimization

Type: Integer
Default: null

Set the parser's optimization level. The lower the number, the less nodes it will create in the tree. This could matter for debugging, or if you want to access the individual nodes in the tree.

strictImports

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Force evaluation of imports.

strictMath

Type: Boolean
Default: false

When enabled, math is required to be in parenthesis.

strictUnits

Type: Boolean
Default: false

When enabled, less will validate the units used (e.g. 4px/2px = 2, not 2px and 4em/2px throws an error).

syncImport

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Read @import'ed files synchronously from disk.

dumpLineNumbers

Type: String
Default: false

Configures -sass-debug-info support.

Accepts following values: comments, mediaquery, all.

relativeUrls

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Rewrite URLs to be relative. false: do not modify URLs.

customFunctions

Type: Object
Default: none

Define custom functions to be available within your LESS stylesheets. The function's name must be lowercase. In the definition, the first argument is the less object, and subsequent arguments are from the less function call. Values passed to the function are types defined within less, the return value may be either one of them or primitive. See the LESS documentation for more information on the available types.

sourceMap

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Enable source maps.

sourceMapFilename

Type: String
Default: none

Write the source map to a separate file with the given filename.

sourceMapURL

Type: String
Default: none

Override the default URL that points to the source map from the compiled CSS file.

sourceMapBasepath

Type: String
Default: none

Sets the base path for the less file paths in the source map.

sourceMapRootpath

Type: String
Default: none

Adds this path onto the less file paths in the source map.

sourceMapFileInline

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Puts the map (and any less files) as a base64 data uri into the output css file.

outputSourceFiles

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Puts the less files into the map instead of referencing them.

modifyVars

Type: Object
Default: none

Overrides global variables. Equivalent to --modify-vars='VAR=VALUE' option in less.

banner

Type: String
Default: none

Usage Examples

less: {
  development: {
    options: {
      paths: ['assets/css']
    },
    files: {
      'path/to/result.css': 'path/to/source.less'
    }
  },
  production: {
    options: {
      paths: ['assets/css'],
      plugins: [
        new (require('less-plugin-autoprefix'))({browsers: ["last 2 versions"]}),
        new (require('less-plugin-clean-css'))(cleanCssOptions)
      ],
      modifyVars: {
        imgPath: '"http://mycdn.com/path/to/images"',
        bgColor: 'red'
      }
    },
    files: {
      'path/to/result.css': 'path/to/source.less'
    }
  }
}
