ds-silex-less-provider's Introduction

DS-Silex-Less service provider

Simple less php service provider for Silex that uses https://github.com/leafo/lessphp as parser.

Simply specify paths for your .less files and target .css and if your .less files are newer than final .css file, final .css will be regenerated

This project is a fork of FF-Silex-Less from https://github.com/darklow/ff-silex-less-provider

This version removes the ability to provide multiple .less source files and timestamp-based change detection.

This version adds a cache file setting and use of the lessphp cachedCompile feature for automatic detection of changes to imported .less files.

Installation

Create a composer.json in your projects root-directory:

{
    "require": {
        "dietrich-stein/ds-silex-less-provider": "*"
    }
}

and run:

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

Register provider

You must specify three required parameters and one optional:

less.source - Path to .less file. Changes to any .less files included by @import will trigger recompilation.
less.target - Path to target .css file
less.cache - Path to cache file used by the lessphp cachedCompile() function
less.target_mode - Optionally you can specify file mode mask
