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 lessy
Lessy (Laravel4 Package)
Lessy is a simple and lean LESS compiler for Laravel.
In summary, Lessy will compile the files contained in app/less to the public/asset/css directory respecting any existing directory structure. For example: if you have app/less/admin/panel.less lessy will compile it to public/asset/css/admin/panel.css when the application receives a request. You can change the input and output directories trough configuration (see below).
The automatic compilation occurs only if the output file doesn't exist or it's an older version than the input file.
Important:
Note that the automatic compilation does not occur when the application is in 'production' environment. So make sure to change the application environment to 'local' or something that is not 'production' if you need Lessy to automagically compile your LESS files.
Features
Current:
- Automagically compiles LESS files when not in production
- Respects directory structure when compiling
- Compile LESS files trough
artisan lessy:compile
Quick start
Required setup
In the require key of composer.json file add the following
"zizaco/lessy": "dev-master"Run the Composer update comand
$ composer updateIn your config/app.php add 'Zizaco\Lessy\LessyServiceProvider' to the end of the $providers array
'providers' => array(
'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
...
'Zizaco\Lessy\LessyServiceProvider',
),You are ready to go! Your application will now compile LESS files when needed. Remember that this does not occur in production environment.
Configuration (Optional)
By default, Lessy will consider the directory app/less as the input and public/assets/css for the output. But if you wish to change these values simply publish the package config files:
$ php artisan config:publish zizaco/lessyand define the origin and destination keys in config/packages/zizaco/lessy/config.php. Example:
// config/packages/zizaco/lessy/config.php
// Paths should be relative to app folder.
'origin' => 'mylessfiles',
'destination' => '../public/mycss',The automatic compilation does not occur when the application is in 'production' environment. So make sure to change the application environment to 'local' or something that is not 'production' if you need Lessy to automagically compile your LESS files.
Console usage
If for some reason you need to force the compilation of LESS files (ex: in production environment), its possible through the command:
$ php artisan lessy:compileLicense
