Less4clj

Clojars Project Build Status AppVeyor

Clojure wrapper for Less4j Java implementation of Less compiler. This repository also contains Boot and Leiningen tasks.

For parallel Sass library check sass4clj

ATTENTION: less4j is not maintained and only targets Less ~1.3-1.4. Consider using Less.js if you do not need to read LESS files from the Java classpath.

Features

Boot Clojars Project

Leiningen Clojars Project

Clj

Test in the repository:

clj -m less4clj.main --source-paths test-resources

Check clj -m less4clj.main --help for options.

Import load order

Loading order for @import "{name}"; on file at {path}

  1. Local file at {path}/{name}.less
  2. Classpath resource (io/resource "{name}.less")
  3. Classpath resource (io/resource "{path}/{name}.less")
  4. Webjar asset
    • Resource META-INF/resources/webjars/{package}/{version}/{path} can be referred using {package}/{path}
    • For example @import "bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less"; will import META-INF/resources/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.6/less/bootstrap.less

FAQ

Shadow-cljs integration

Check the example from sass4clj, it should work with less4clj also.

Semantic-UI theme.config

Semantic-UI needs theme.config file in your project. Add this file to your classpath under path META-INF/resources/webjars/semantic-ui/2.2.10/src/theme.config, e.g under resources/ folder.

Log configuration

If you don't have any slf4j implementations, you will see a warning:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

To disable this, add a no operation logger to your project. As this is only required on the build phase, you can use :scope "test" so that the dependency is not transitive and is not included in Uberjar. Alternatively, you can add this dependency to your Leiningen dev profile.

[org.slf4j/slf4j-nop "1.7.13" :scope "test"]
