FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package lessphp

lessphp is a compiler for LESS written in PHP. The documentation is great,
so check it out: http://lessphp.ikimea.com/docs/.
Here's a quick tutorial:
How to use in your PHP project
The typical flow of lessphp is to create a new instance of lessc,
configure it how you like, then tell it to compile something using one built in
compile methods.
The compile method compiles a string of LESS code to CSS.
The compileFile method reads and compiles a file. It will either return the
result or write it to the path specified by an optional second argument.
The compileChecked method is like compileFile, but it only compiles if the output
file doesn't exist or it's older than the input file:
If there any problem compiling your code, an exception is thrown with a helpful message:
The bin/lessc object can be configured through an assortment of instance methods.
Some possible configuration options include changing the output format,
setting variables from PHP, and controlling the preservation of
comments, writing custom functions and much more. It's all described
in the documentation.
How to use from the command line
An additional script has been included to use the compiler from the command line. In the simplest invocation, you specify an input file and the compiled css is written to standard out:
$ bin/plessc input.less > output.cssUsing the -r flag, you can specify LESS code directly as an argument or, if the argument is left off, from standard in:
$ bin/plessc -r "my less code here"Finally, by using the -w flag you can watch a specified input file and have it compile as needed to the output file:
$ plessc -w input-file output-fileErrors from watch mode are written to standard out.
The -f flag sets the output formatter. For example, to compress the output run this:
$ bin/plessc -f=compressed myfile.lessFor more help, run bin/plessc --help
