atom-less package

An Atom package that auto-compiles LESS files on save, with support for LESS plugins, Clean-CSS and AutoPrefixer.

Configuration

On the first line of LESS files, add a valid JSON comment, not including the outer brackets ('{' and '}'), with the following properties:

  • "main": string - The relative or absolute path to the main LESS file to be compiled (ignores all other options)
  • "out": boolean|string - true to output using the filename, or a string specifying a name to use
  • "compress": boolean - Use Less.JS built-in compression (not compatible with Clean-CSS or Source Maps)
  • "strictMath": boolean - Require brackets around math expressions
  • "sourceMap": boolean|Object - true to turn on source maps, or an object specifying LESS source map properties
  • "cleancss": string|object - a string specifying the 'compatibility' property, or an object specifying the Clean-CSS properties (not compatible with Source Maps)
  • "autoprefixer": string|object - a ; separated string specifying the 'browsers' property, or an object specifying the AutoPrefixer properties

Other LESS compiler options might work but are untested at this point.

Road Map

  1. Remove dependency on inline comments, and instead use a .lesscfg project file, allowing easier configuration and automatic support of additional LESS plugins
  2. Change callback passing to use Promises
