Informations about the package less4laravel

License
Less4Laravel is open-sourced software licensed under the MIT license, the same license Laravel uses.
Installation
Via Composer
`
Once Composer has installed or updated your packages, you need to register
Less4Laravel with Laravel itself. Open up /config/app.php
and
find the providers key towards the bottom and add:
`
In the aliases section, add:
`
Configuration
In order to work with the configuration file, you're best off publishing a copy with Artisan:
`
The defaults are:
- Recompile whenever any .less file is updated.
- Cache .less files in
/storage/framework/cache
- Store .less files in
resources/assets/less
- Store generated .css files in
public/css
- Link to
/css/filename.css
- Don't minify the generated css file
All of these defaults can be changed in /app/config/less4laravel.php
.
Additionally you can (and probably should) have different configurations for development and production. Specifically, you probably don't want to be generating css files on your production server, since it will slow down your site.
In order to have different configs on your development and production servers, you'll do something like this:
Open up less4laravel.config and change
` to
`
You can use any environment variable name you want -- L4L_FREQ is an example.
In your local .env
file, add
and in your production
.envfile, add
Usage
In your view file, just call Less::to('file')
to compile the .less file (if needed) and generate a link to the output css file.
If you're using Laravel Blade, be sure to un-escape your call to Less:
`
To add properties to your link, just put them in an array as the second variable to the to
function:
Less::to('filename', ['media'=>'print'])
will
generate <link media="print" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/css/filename.css">
You can also use the Less::link()
function if you don't want Less4Laravel generating your html:
